Sailing is hardly an alien concept to me, having spent most weekends from the age of zero to about when I began senior school either watching my Dad race a sailing dingy or messing around on small sailing vessels myself. My new design attempts to be fairly realistic in capturing the essence of a yacht race, but without getting too technical. Well, there is a limit to what you can achieve with shapes of fabric and a zigzag stitch on a sewing machine!
Anyway, I hope you like the finished results. I had a text to say that the recipients certainly do, which is always great to hear.
I enjoyed making them so much I feel somewhat bereft this weekend now that they are complete. I'm going to have to come up with an excuse to make another very soon. Perhaps the guest bedroom needs a make-over?
