I WAS on a fabric diet. I do not want to mention any names here, but some people should stay away from your blog whilst on a fabric diet and in a sewing deprived state.<br /><br />Your Dad's shirt looks terrific, and I love the shot of him in his natural environment. The colours of the fabric look terrific on him - and your photo of the fabric is much better than purl soho's, the different colours show up so nicely.kbencohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885068563358776147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374783908598391491.post-79651691019447524152011-11-21T10:55:39.586+08:002011-11-21T10:55:39.586+08:00What a lucky Dad!
