I suaved out the pigsty that was my sewing room and with the cleanliness and order came inspiration.
So nice to have my sewing mojo back. And to have made a new frock I really, really like!
It’s a 1976 pattern made up from old curtains kindly given to me by a friend in a de-stashing frenzy. There was a bit of light damage but I just cut around the worst marks.
Only a couple of modifications – added length to bodice and skirt and made the sleeves longer with a kicky little turn-up.
Love, love, love it. The swingy skirt is just the best.
Make it 'til you fake it
