  2. Pickling is on my mind at the moment. I never thought green tomatoes would be worthwhile pickling? I'm going to give radishes ago this week hopefully.

  5. Looking forward to seeing the new dress. Are you going to use the tablecloth for its intended purpose, or turn it into something else? I can never seem to cut into my tablecloths even though I buy them intending to!

    1. I can't wait to finish the dress and share some pics on my blog
      There are a couple of small stains that didn't come out with a wash so that makes cutting it up a fair bit easier. I find it hard to cut them up though, especially the embroidered ones that have had so much work put into them.
      Maybe you could go through your stash and inspect them for any small stains or holes and cut into those ones.
