    It’s been 50 years since I stepped foot in Sherwood Forest nice to see so many of the old trees still standing, I don’t remember seeing placards at the trees back then, and it’s looking just a tad little more bare compared to 70’s , I hope that it will improve again over the coming years.
    I enjoyed the video, thanks🤗🤗

    Wow Sarah that was just incredible!, I'm actually speechless, I don't know where to start really, but your Cape is absolutely amazing, I don't think Maid Marion herself could have been more perfectly attired for a stroll through the forest, how on earth did you freestyle it like that it couldn't have looked better?. Seeing the forest too was marvellous, and what utterly fantastic trees, I'm not surprised you like going for a wander through there - although at first I was panicking rather that you were on your own until I was grateful to see from the camera shots that you must have had somebody else with you!. And then the bag!!!. At first I couldn't work out what was going to happen painting the paste on the cloth, but the end result was like magic, and then when it was all put together with the embroidery on it too, well, it's absolutely beautiful!, I can only imagine the odd looking mess there would have been if I'd been making all that!, honestly, you never fail to both surprise and inspire, and it was lovely to see dear Ginger cat stroking your hand with his tail too joining in as always. Wonderful, thank you x

      I can just about manage a rectangular sewing project, anything more complicated just makes me cross! The resist was a bit of an accident, I was making it as a mordant but I made it a bit thick and it became a resist instead! I think I prefer this though...
