<p>OK, I'm a bit late with this but it's been a busy week!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1) I had about a 200 mile round trip, on train and bus because of engineering works.</p>
<p>2) Probably about 30 hours because there were two pieces - jacket and dress.</p>
<p>3) I changed my mind once on the dress fabric because I found what I thought was perfect for the challenge just after buying my original choice!</p>
<p>4) I loved Charlotte's Horrockses dress.</p>

<p>1) About 45km</p>
<p>2) Hmm... I did it in lots of little steps. Probably about 20 hours, including some drafting and altering patterns.</p>
<p>3) Not even once!</p>
<p>4) Charlotte T - the Horrockses!</p>
<p>5) Sofia</p>
<p>6) Lauren</p>
<p>7) Debi's flags - full commitment to the theme!</p>

<p>1. actual journey 13.13km as the crow flies 9.49km (thank you mapmyrun.com)</p>
<p>2. I completely lost count - it was my first ever dress & FBA, so many tissue fits etc - at least 2 full weekends + 2 bank holidays and many evenings brings me to over an embarassing 40 hours.</p>
<p>3. I changed pattern once - initally I thought I'd make the Horrockses, but decided I wasn't quite up to the adjustments, so went with the simplest pattern in my meagre stash. The fabric I found and fell in…</p>

<p>3. I changed pattern once - initally I thought I'd make the Horrockses, but decided I wasn't quite up to the adjustments, so went with the simplest pattern in my meagre stash. The fabric I found and fell in love with instantly.</p>
<p>4. That's a really hard one, but for sheer I wish I had / had made that dress and for the beautiful hand stitched hem (HA - to the V&A version) Charlotte's Horrockses dress.</p>
<p>5. I'm torn between Sofia's red white & blue, and Kirsty's blue with the star</p>
<p>6. another tough one... will say Sofia's</p>
<p>7. eeek, how to choose. For fabric that made me feel that I need to go buy some now - and because I could envisage wearing it myself Amy's Hearts ... (did you see the pinky / red hearts hidden by the top of the skirt?) - love it.</p> 1) Not far at all, about 10 k…tag:circle.sewweekly.com,2011-05-16:6365347:Comment:339282011-05-16T08:50:28.905ZStephhttp://circle.sewweekly.com/profile/littlemisstwitchy
<p>1) Not far at all, about 10 km?</p>
<p>2) The whole of one Sunday plus a few evenings, so around 12 hours</p>
<p>3) I started off with the aim to make the Horrocks dress, but got a bit scared by the idea of grading so only once, which is quite good for me. At least I knew I wanted spots!</p>

<p>Hello Shannon, it sews up really well but it was beyond my skill level really so I did need help. My sewing teacher really liked the pockets... </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The main problem was the sizing. I had to resize the pattern which took alot of messing about. If you don't need to do that then I would say the whole thing would be alot more straightforward!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I wrote a review on my blog of the pattern if you are interested ;0)…</p>

<p>1) 227 km on the train (plus the house to train and tube distance)</p>
<p>2) I didn't really count, I think I said about 12 to Charlotte yesterday but thinking more about it it was probably 8</p>
<p>3) Oooh many many many times, shall we say 10 for stats sake?</p>
<p>4) That has to go to Charlotte for doing the Horrockses dress and also for out-doing the ones in the shop that cost 4 times more!</p>
