It goes ever so slowly and so it's easy to hop on and off. When we arrived we were almost first at the gallery, but a couple of elderly ladies had hopped on just ahead of us. They did a few leisurely laps together, chatting all the while, then got off and continued their conversation as they wandered through the gallery. As if golden merry-go-rounds were part of their everyday routine! lucky them if it's true!!Lightning McStitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955101913822685967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-836336795260276692014-11-27T18:35:26.283+11:002014-11-27T18:35:26.283+11:00Oh aren't they just.

There's hopefully enough stretch in the chambray that my pants should be a success.

I love the idea of denim with jeans style topstitching.<br />It didn't seem worth chopping the skirt up for just the yoke part and Sarvi's dress was too good not to copy!Lightning McStitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955101913822685967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-40886389394552822052014-11-27T18:31:16.445+11:002014-11-27T18:31:16.445+11:00Thanks Nicole.

I'd interfaced one side on the suspicion this could happen but no idea why I didn't think to do both sides. oh well. A bit of handstitching and it should be fine.<br />The Gaultier exhibition is superb. It's on for a few months yet if you can smuggle her interstate.Lightning McStitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955101913822685967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-77943763475989587632014-11-27T18:29:01.640+11:002014-11-27T18:29:01.640+11:00Oh and all the other make over movies!

You crack me up with your talk of Cinderella, though!
