    It's finished!! (and a quiz for a prize)

    My marathon sewing fest is over - Thank Goodness!!

    How many hours do you reckon it took me...... have a guess?

    I had to sew by hand 7 large pieces of net curtain together to make a cover big enough to cover my brassica bed which is 13 and a half feet by 4 feet, with hoops over that are about 3 feet high...

    Isn't it a beauty.. a real vision of several decades that taste forgot!


    Answers on a postcard, packet of seeds for the winner!

      You've got style girl!

      By hand It would have taken me till next year at least but I'll guess 32 hours
      I was feeling part of the scenery
      I walked right out of the machinery

          Felicity would be so proud. I think it needs red ribbons to set it off [and tie it up whilst you plant those brassicas out].

          I'd go for 24 hours, a full day.
