I will share indeed, @alt3r ! I ended up spending my sewing hours on Sunday adjusting my last apron-dress - and the more dramatic apron construction is a challenging thing, so it might take me a bit longer to work up my confidence to do it... But yes indeed: I'll share a post here about it when it's done. And yes, in my Scottish island culture, we had some good training at school too, around weaving, dyeing and suchlike - in the '70s/ 80s there was a big resurgence of the old arts and crafts in rural areas. 🤗
Don't be shy, there is no such a thing like perfection, but I do understand 'stage fright', so when you are ready!
Scotland fields, sheep's and aprons sounds good to me.😍
Lucky you, wish we had similar subject here, but it was abolished back in the eighties from schools.
Does it still exist as part of education?
Oh, I have no idea - probably not - though I know of multifarious projects (on Arran where I grew up) that are bringing back traditional ways, skills - especially around the food cycles: community food-growing, sustainable fishing and culinary projects, fermenting, natural liquors, etc. A fair few folks that I was at school with, and who all left to find work/ travel the world, like me, have returned and are bringing their worldly knowledge and connectedness back to where they grew up - enriching the island culture by reviving the roots. This is very exciting - a second wave of what was begun in the 70s...
Thanks for your encouragement, @alt3r - I do need a pep talk every now and again, as I am quite neurotic about my handiwork at times!

That is indeed lovely to read, go everywhere but come home!
Why nervous? Handwork should be relaxing and you are most welcome @clareartista (:
