Still there are some benefits, I have finally managed to make loose covers for our sofas which I have been delaying for a considerable time, knowing it would tax my sewing capabilities. But given I desperately wanted to keep our sofas and couldn't find any other option for just the right feel of linen and the perfect cut and fit - I was after something tailored, but soft, not fussy with piping or sloppy and too loose, I set to work on it myself. Now they are all but complete and we can curl up on them in front of the woodburner and ignore the cold outside.
