I read your post about the ironing board falling a few days ago and thought I left a comment? Anyhow, I am always knocking the iron off the ironing board, spilling the water.

Katie of Inside Number 23 podcast did a sewalong for it a while back. Everything from fabric choice to different finishes.

Like Catriona...That's a really smart skirt Pam.<br />Like Catriona I have problems finding skirts to suit me but the opposite applies for me. I am tall at 5'10" and I like long skirts......ankle length if possible. I have a pattern which works for me so I think I might need to rustle up a couple of new ones.<br />Hugs-x-Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10528336306775217982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-14211695998694609002018-01-16T10:13:29.706+00:002018-01-16T10:13:29.706+00:00That skirt is perfect and it’s something you reall...That skirt is perfect and it’s something you really can’t buy! Skirts are awaful just now and I cannot find anything to suit me-I’m 5’3” tall which means they are all a dreary length on me. Can’t believe you’ve already finished it and another one. Go Pam!
