I wouldn't tbh - canvas is even harder to sew than pleated satiny stuff :lol:

I wasn't planning on sewing, just cutting a hole for the head and two more for the arms :lol:

OK, so it's not exactly Stella McCartney, but with the amount of cake that's being passed around here to take the dampers off an otherwise soggy jubilee, I don't think I'll need particularly sharp tailoring for some time ahead. :lol:

Hope everyone else is jubilating too!
