Hopefully you all have the doubles (and triples…and tredecuples?!) out of your systems now and are ready to tackle some non-wovens!
Or perhaps you are like me and still working on your second Rooibos while Miss Bossy lounges on the dress form, tut-tutting in the background?
Oops! 😉

Hmmm…. three of these are in my ‘things I want to make in May’ list, and the patterns for two of the others are in my stash waiting to be made as well. Clearly, I don’t have enough of these patterns and need to collect more of them. 😉 (Especially that Ooh Lulu Ginger pattern, so gorgeous!!!)
