New patterns: Sewaholic Renfrew Style Arc Clara skirt I still haven't got my fabric buying and pattern buying and wardrobe needs in synch.  So I have gorgeous fabric in the cupboard in bold knit print for dresses or leggings.  But I have enough dresses and leggings for the moment and a need for cardigans in plain knits.  But I have wanted a cowl top for a zillion years to echo the RTW one I bought four years ago.  I tried a Khaliah Ali one and it wasn't successful.  The review and pics on the internet suggest the Renfrew could be the one for me.  This tutorial on doing an FBA on the Renfrew is going to be my mini-bible for the Renfrew project. I read Deborah Challinor's Girl of Shadows and loved it.  This would make a fabulous mini-series. Special find of the week: the digi-poem Hinemoa's Daughter .  Very beautiful.
