\"CRUISE-2014-046\"

Sounds like heaven. \u00a0Except here in Cayman, I'm rather a long way and usually two flights away from any of them. So what to do? \u00a0Make my own sewing meet up right here in Cayman!<\/p>\n

I was so delighted when Robin wrote to tell me that she would be visiting Grand Cayman with her husband Joe. \u00a0Robin was enjoying a Quilting Cruise that stopped off for the day in the Cayman Islands as part of its Caribbean route and so we arranged to meet up and spend some tourist time together.<\/p>\n

It was fun being a tourist on my own island for the day and Robin and Joe were amazing. \u00a0Such lovely people, fun and interesting with lots of tales to tell. \u00a0I'm naturally shy by nature and was a bit worried, but we all chatted away like we had known each other for ever.<\/p>\n

Robin asked if I had sewn my skirt, and I hadn't but she said it was cute and I should make one. \u00a0So I'm working on it now. \u00a0The first trial version is completed and it came out so cute! \u00a0I've had the Pattern Drafting from Ready To Wear<\/a> class in my folder for ages and hadn't got round to even starting it, but this was the perfect opportunity to take a look. \u00a0 \u00a0Using the tips I learned, I was easily able to make a pattern from the skirt I already had.<\/p>\n

I'll be working on refining it, grading into different sizes and working on a tutorial and this will become a free pattern of the future. \u00a0Just in time for summer I think. \u00a0Thanks to Robin and Joe for spending such a lovely day with me, and for giving me the idea to make this skirt.<\/p>\n
