Dear Saffy

...who thought I could love you as much as I do?

You told me your limitations (that you would shrink 20 % after washing)

and you did just as you said you would.

You told me that you would fade and soften like a pair of jeans. You held to your promise.

And best of all, you fit me like a glove.

So, no embroidery after all for Saffy. I worked on the bullion stitch and in the end was happier with her a little less embellished that what the pattern called for (go figure!). No modifications to the pattern. Details in finished objects.

Beautiful! Such a good fit and definitely not needing any extra embellishment.

Green (or blue....or faded black) with envy. It's just perfect. Yay! xox Kay

oh glamorous you! Fantastic job. Congratulations.

Wow, it really does look incredible. It actually looks better on you than on the pattern model! How rare is that!?!? (for me, it's very rare) But I do love it and I think you're exactly right about the embroidery.

Just cruising through the blogs here: man that is lovely! I especially like the cuffs.

Everytime you post about Saffy, I think of the poor girl on Absolutely Fabulous. And your saffy is fabulous. The fit is lovely and I'm so glad the shrinkage worked out just as you thought.

Absolutely beautiful!!! It really is just lovely - great job.

I agree about it not needing too much embellishment. It's perfect the way it is. :-)

It looks absolutely stunning. I love it!

Best wishes from Germany
