Today's efforts ...

Hold yourselves back ....

this freakin awesome fabric has caught your eye hasn't it?

It did me too, whilst rummaging through our local op shop a couple of weeks back.

and I almost passed it up (heaven forbid)

And then, I remembered I had a 1970's shirt dress pattern waiting patiently for me at home.

I have been imagining myself wearing this dress whilst sipping G & T's in the summer sun! 

So, I bit the bullet today and cut her out

in anticipation of warm breezy evenings ....

 I draped her over my handy Miss Manny (the mannequiness)

so I can visualise that summery picture more clearly!

I think she'll be quite the head-turner!
(and between you and me and the lamp post, It'll probably take me the 6 months till summer to finish her any hoo!)

And she's for keeps!
