The final fabric after washing dried and I measured the dimensions. Shock horror. It has shrunk terribly. In 4.3 metres, it shrunk by 0.4 m in length and 6 cm in 61 cm in width. It is now too small to use as curtains. In compensation, the fabric is fabulous and feels wonderful. So I consulted with my daughter Ruth as to what she thought of making it into a jacket. Provided I match across the back seam and the front seams.
I saw Ruth today because she and Anne and I went to Bicester Village (an outlet village) and bought things from the likes of Gucci, Versace and Dolce and Gabbana. So poorer but happier we went home.
