Remember Dad, this will only give you an idea about how the basic Michael look because the shade of today will ofcourse be different. I am happy with that simple. I decide to go forward with it. In my sample. I have white, yellow, orange, and brown. I take another design sheet. I mark it with w as a reference to remind me that I am going to leave this of the fabric right? In where I'm going today. I write Y for yellow, orange, brown. It is not really necessary to do that with a small basic. But if you are making a large piece of magic with a lot of colors and you did not take the time to make samples. It's a good thing to do. So you can plan the colour sequence.
