Jumping on the bandwagon

I'm sure you've probably all seen or heard about Colette Patterns fantastic free pattern Sorbetto by now as there are so many popping up all over the blog-o-sphere right now.  I have been loving everyone elses versions and ravings about the top but have been unable to make it as I don't own a printer (and I won't use the work one for such things).  But today I have been to my parents house for lunch (Dad does the most fantastic Sunday lunch EVER!) and stole their printer for five minutes to print out the pattern so I can jump on the Sorbetto bandwagon.    

I'm off to go and see if it lives up to its reputation

Also after a discussion on The Sew Weekly I've been chatting to my mum about natural dying, and guess what?  She has a book about it (I should have known really), I've borrowed it and may be experimenting at some point in the future
