Last night I got all dressed up to go to a wedding reception and thought "I must get a photo of this outfit, I really like it". This is as close as I got 😆 I like it as an arty photo but you'll have to use your imagination to picture the complete outfit 🤷♀️ here's what it included: ✔ Fulwood dress (link to pattern in bio) in that gorgeous Pollock style crepe from @fabworksmillshop (my go-to summer frock) ✔ handmade kimono (not by me) ✔ gold handbag by @hollymleatherWearing autumn clothes in August 🙄 I'm excited about the weather forecast that's promising 2 nice weeks after today though!!! 🌞 Wearing that boxy tee that I will eventually release as a pattern one day, promise!! I've been cooking up some sewing plans which involve more of these tees and a hooded parka, I'm focussing on the gaps in my wardrobe as I haven't done any sewing just for me at all this year....what's on your sewing list? #handmadetshirt #diytshirt #tshirtpattern #sewingwithknits #sewingwithknittedfabricsReally enjoyed being the student last night @sew_in_the_city learning some improv patchwork techniques with the always infectiously enthusiastic @pappersaxsten Met a lovely group of makers too. My kinda Friday night out!! ✂️The kind of picture I love to see - @betty_dabbler and @fabricandflour in their finished Peak T-shirts that they started with me on Friday morning @sew_in_the_city Brilliant work you two 👏👏👏 I really love these fabric choices ❤❤Facebook
