Some days are best suited for pattern cutting....
Today was such a day...
*I have made two templates.
One which is the final 5 1/2 inch clamshell.
And one which has a 1/2 inch allowance
for turning under.
I figured I should start as I mean to go on,
with accuracy.

ReplyDeleteI look forward to hearing how you go on with all the curves and how you find working with the liberty tauna lawn fabric. Liz x
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely!
ReplyDeleteWowsers, this is liberty porn you do realise!
ReplyDeleteI do love a girl who keeps all scraps no matter how small, good name for a blog that. I made my precious scraps into a small purse using 1/2 inch hexagons, just a suggestion, should you want a further project. Lol.
I wait with bated breath to see the blossoming of the beautious blanket......ok now I am just waffling.
This is going to be gorgeous, Liberty is so beautiful. Let us know if it is easy or not, I am a bit nervous of working with curves.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be just gorgeous, I know it! Such lovely Liberty fabrics you have chosen. I am a fan of Barbara Brackman's blog too as am interested in all the history behind the patterns, etc. Am trying out new patterns at the moment and seeing your Clamshell stuff has given me an idea ...!! xCathy

ReplyDeleteWow. Looks like a lot of effort, but it will be well worth it in the end.
