Thanks for the instructions as I will definitely make one of these as soon as I find a bit of time (lots of material in my stash so not a problem there - wish I had a 'time-stash' too!). I recently tried one on in a shop as I too used to have one of these in the early 80s, but it was a bit too long for my podgy build, but you are nice and willowy so the longer length suits you. I do remember them being very comfortable to wear. (Unusual spelling of Gipsy - any reason why? As you know I love words).

I love using them in dressmaking too! I'm planning on making something similar for one of my daughters.

Sadly you lost me with your first paragraph of instructions but I read through to the end thinking that I might 'get it' eventually but alas, no! Never mind. I'll be showing it to my mum and dropping atom bomb type hints which I hope she'll get!!! At 72 she's still sewing like a demon so I know she'll be keen...... xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02001869157864904557noreply@blogger.com
