When this lovely pattern arrived I decided it would be the perfect match for my red gingham fabric!
When I started working on this dress I was surprised by how fast it all came together. Just a few hours and it was nearly finished
After looking around for inspiration online I figured outlaw to sew a big puffy picnic dress that would be perfect for summer!
It makes me so happy when I find a vintage pattern for a good price AND also for my measurements! My first vintage pattern project ever!
As soon as I saw Angela Claytons video on how she made her pillbox hat I knew I wanted to try it as well. My version is in white and featured my first ever hand embroidery as well.
I made my first dress. It’s an apron dress inspired by the ‘Lorraine* dress from Hearts & Found. And it was only £12!
Since making lists and planning si my No 1 Hobby I couldn’t resits gathering some inspiration and goals for my creative 2021!
