    About

    I had a pitch in local craft fair, the lady bought a top and asked if I could add to the wide straps as her bra was showing in the corner under here arms. She was happy with my work and asked if I make a three quarter sleeve top. She wanted it form fitting as the motifs were joined on the diagonal and she has an hour glass figure I had to visit her 4 times for fittings also I designed a new motif for row around her stomach. The lady didn't want to show too much skin. I added an extra row of TR (UK) and removed a row chain loops. She has a deep V back and a scalloped front. The shoulder and sleeves proved a problem in restricting movement of arm I solved this by working extra chains and adding half and quarter motifs. The work took 6 weeks to finish I could have finished in less time but we had meet for fittings often we could not get together for a week
