I just realized I won a contest at Sew What's New, a large and authoritative sewing board on the World Wide Web. I entered the contest without any real hope to win - I started sewing a little more than a year ago and the ladies over there are so experienced. We had to sew a 3-piece outfit and I entered my corset with the circle skirt and a matching peasant blouse. I did my little best of course, but... I didn't imagine I'd run first! 
Oh my. I only just learnt it and my heart won't stop racing, nor my hands trembling!
Details are here (contest announcement), here (entries) and here (winners announcement).
I never told you because I didn't want you all to go there and vote for me... I wanted to see how I'd rank without any help!
I still can't fully believe it.
Anyone got a recipe to stop a fluttering heart and trembling hands? I can't stitch with trembling hands!
