That leopard coat is going to be fab, I am very envious of your sewing skills, I had to buy my leopard coat in the sale at Asos, I really like it though, I feel I cut quick a dash on the school run and surprisingly it seems to go with most things - as our friend FF would say, leopard is a neutral. I discovered Madelief's blog the other day through the Hattatts, isn't it great how we all form a loose network ( some of us looser than others, ha ha)? I will def check out the other blogger too, have a nice weekend BxxBlightyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17567627987700387034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-65933462138376286492014-06-26T01:19:53.074-07:002014-06-26T01:19:53.074-07:00Thanks Debra, weather finally turning cold so need...Thanks Debra, weather finally turning cold so need to finish the coat asap.

Even then it didn't cross my mind that one of them was me! Wow! That is a lovely thing to say and what great photos you have found of the cubist buildings! By the way, I am now following Madelief's blog. It's just gorgeous, isn't it? I love your leopard print car coat! Can we see you modelling it when it's finished?
