I feel a little more confident now, and have the help of my beautiful assistant 'Dolly' and as such feel almost ready to try the crepe again ! There are some real beauty versions which I have seen online, which fill me with hope. I would love to see your version ! Can you share ? xx<br />I am hopeful to sew up the Jasmine tonight :-) Maybe work on the crepe again later in the year !

It was not meant to be!

I would love to see your finished crepe - I gave up on mine due to hideous back fitting issues. Boo ! I did try that type of marking but because my fabric is so patterned I couldn't see the marks !
