Made by Hand: Red on Red

I have a birthday present to make - always a good motivation for getting on with things and 
finishing them. This is going to be a wrap-around skirt... my Oasis block print in red on red 
linen. Funny how the red ink makes the linen look pink ;)







Nothing like a deadline to make one get to it. Reminds me of the Ray Bradbury quote:
Sometimes you just have to jump out the window and grow wings on the way down :)

    Not pink, raspberry! It looks amazing and really subtle, it will be a wow when made up. xx

      Thanks Jane :) It does have a kind of lolly look about it, doesn't it?
      I hope it does work out with the skirt. I'm at that stage where Im scared of wrecking it now with my disastrous sewing!! ;)
