Placing your fabric on a near bias gave such visual interest. I acquired a similar fabric many years ago in 100% cotton and made a swimsuit coverup. I did have a little trouble sewing finishing the seams and used some 'seams great' as I didn't have a serger at the time. Thanks for your tip as I may use it later.

It is hard to tell from the photo, but it looks like it doesn't have anything to show where the numbers are located on the face. I use to have a watch that only had the hands on it. You can not believe the number of people who asked me how I told the time!<br />Always enjoy the blog.
