I'm not in too big a hurry as I have swimwear I am desperate to make but my niece is really keen!

You can request samples on-line and when they come, send them an email about how much you want of what (quote the codes they have on the sample card). I also say I am happy to pay a fee for the small cuts. Then I give them my phone number so they can call me for payment and I pay over the phone with my CC. They don't give a quote for the delivery fee but don't overcharge (it is heavy fabric). They just charge the final fee after it is cut and they send really fast. Usually get it in a day or two.

It looks perfect for summer. Sarongs are great to use for sewing aren't they :-) Especially that border they usually have. Nice pattern too. Simple but lovely, and looks very wearable.Tropical Threadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10577923650038624948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809800447778175614.post-13800353648513420792016-01-23T08:54:47.127+10:002016-01-23T08:54:47.127+10:00Ha, that'll be a first for me to be on trend o...Ha, that'll be a first for me to be on trend or ahead!

I just read that pinafore style dresses are coming back in, so you are ahead of the trend pack :). And as you say, perfect for your climate. I don't mind on the run pictures - it's hard to fit blogging into life, without chasing picture perfection as well. That time is better spent in sewing - for me, at least :)Sarah Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566072246120028926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809800447778175614.post-61388897296465451042016-01-20T22:21:31.107+10:002016-01-20T22:21:31.107+10:00Hi Vanessa.

I have way too many and will be putting them for sale when I can bother to photograph them etc. I'd love to send you a couple... what sort do you like.

I have heard they tend to be better than the instructions included in the newer patterns today. I would love to try an "older" pattern for a change.
