As you well know, I've given up on sewing, because I found I find I enjoy the process of crochet much more than that of sewing. I found the process of sewing somewhere between a hard slog and a nightmare. The end result, oh yes, that is fab, I have made some fantastic things in my time... the very best one was a Naiad costume; a green skirt with two layers of watery gauze over the top, a green satin + lace bustier, and an overshirt of the same gauze.... oh yes.

But. Hours and backaches and fiddly fiddly stuff and you can never ever fix a mistake. (sigh) I remember I had some lovely blue-green synthetic which I made into a pants and top set... and both patterns looked horrible on me. I had utterly wasted that nice cloth. Yes, yes, if I had been doing it properly, I would have made a test-piece... but that basically means one has to make everything twice, which is even more time...

Look, it really is not for me.

But I at least have a smattering of understanding of what it is like, so I am very admiring that you have the patience and persistence to do it.

And speaking of which... has there been any use of the cloth that you relieved me of?
