I am not very confident in choosing colours myself. I have been watching some YouTube videos on colour theory recently...hoping to increase my knowledge. I ordered fabric almost the same as the original...just 2 substituted as not all colours were available. I wasn’t feeling comfortable making my own choices when purchasing online as the colours aren’t always true. The original is gorgeous and am very happy with the package of fabric that has arrived! 😊. I will be learning how to appliqué as I go...a new technique for me. I made a small pressing mat using Allison’s instructions and have the gathered the toools needed...glue, mini iron, tiny scissors, brush. Very excited to begin! Big ‘hi there‘ to everyone getting ready for the Purdy Bird QAL 👋.
