Most especially to my Mum, who let me sew on her brand new Elna SU sewing machine when I was only young (Under 10 - what trust!).  And who made the BEST clothes for me (she reckons I was not grateful at the time… Looking back, they were really AWESOME clothes, Thanks, Mum!)

Here’s the only recent photo I have of Mum - Chips (the retrofitted Scottish fold cat - it’s a long story) is assessing Mum’s work on the cushion she made  - “it looked so fast and easy until I counted the pattern pieces for the applique!”
