what i wore

this is what i wore to the cat show last weekend. i got a really positive response from the cats ;)

it was not warm out...but i wanted to show you my dress. i finally used one of my vintage patterns and made it! i used thrifted fabric and a thrifted pattern so it was realllly cheap to make. i love it! i want to make more!

have you made anything lately?

    I love the colours in this dress!
    & the collar is so cute & fun (:

    Did you save the pattern to make more of these?
    Because it would look so cute with a floral fabric for spring/summer!

    xo.

    thanks everyone! sewing with a pattern is not that difficult. maybe i should make a mini tutorial next time i make a dress?

    kristine, i absolutely did save the pattern! i want to make a lighter weight one.

    Yes! I've always heard that cats respond well to peter pan collars. Glad to hear it's true!

    I have about 3 (okay 6) patterns in my sewing room just begging to be made into something. I've never made a dress from a pattern so I'm totally nervous. I signed up for Home Ec and I think there's a section in there about sewing from patterns. Fingers crossed!

    I do love that velvet plum-coloured dress and the mustard cardi - very much my colours (I'd so wear that, *if* I wore dresses!)... You look lovely (yet again!) - have a great weekend, my friend :)
