18a Steven-g-raph (a silk picture - 'steven' is a dialect word for voice)
11d Spinnerette - I don't know what the answer to 1 is, but there's a 'pinnie' in there somewhere?..)

thanks

Apologies - 'Pinner' is the apron - is 1 'Setter' or 'Settee', bordering (outside) it?

[meabby]

that makes sense as the answer in the grid to 1 is "birthday"!

Hi meabby - just passing through on my way to bed!

Any chance the clue reads 'I', not '1' ? 'I' would indicate the 'Setter' (cut short to 'Sette')...

HTH - Night! :-)

yep- sorry - you're right it's a I not a 1 - thanks for your help.
