Leggings made and another hopscotch from the jegging scraps
I was able to cut a late lunch and a continental blouse from the linen

I have some postal satchels from the last round of generous recipients, so up to you I you care to send one in return not required. I’ll be happy to imagine them being well received.

Hm, that’s a bit tricky.

Bumping this up before the dresses go in the charity bag….

You’ve nailed it re the paper situation @todd. First time I asked the local print shop (franchise of a well known chain) they looked blank. Suggested printing sideways on A0 and taping two sheets together.
