I started about 10.15 am at Milsons Point Station and by the time I reached Callum Park it was bucketing down. Nevertheless I finished it in great spirits and am looking forward to the next one. Interestingly, like you, I was inspired to think about doing more long distance walks. I am a sewer and have just discovered your blog (through another sewer). - Cat1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098393915488355682.post-63545757292092453502009-10-26T14:10:48.896-07:002009-10-26T14:10:48.896-07:00Hi Gail!

The dress fabric seemed to hold the boning in place nicely.kbencohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885068563358776147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098393915488355682.post-88139185865012881942009-10-26T11:34:51.558-07:002009-10-26T11:34:51.558-07:00That jacket is looking great!

Secondly,...Firstly, I love the new header picture! Secondly, I am super impressed that you are making a corset. I'm considering making my first (and probably only) strapless dress this year as I suspect I am getting too old to wear one, so this might be my last chance. As for Chanel jackets, yours is looking wonderful. I, of course, have done nothing. Hearing about your walk is making me homesick. After almost ten years living up here, the past week I have found myself missing Sydney quite severely. I may have to come for a visit soon! Looking forward to seeing your completed jacket.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274649006496918800noreply@blogger.com
