I got this gorgeous fabric at John Lewis for £2.75 a metre! Say whaaat? I was lusting after it all Christmas, which isn’t surprising. Open my closet and you’ll find the majority of my clothes are floral. In fact, I showed my Mum and she rolled her eyes and said ‘why does it ALWAYS have to be floral?!?’

The lady in John Lewis (I am telling you, we shall know each other by name soon, soon I tell you!) thought it would be a lovely fabric for a 50s/60s style dress – to which I wholeheartedly agreed after drooling over some of the vintage Vogue reissues. After some research, I decided to go with a Butterick reissue :

I know I’ll be doing without the bows, but I have no idea whether to go for the full skirted version or the slim version.

If you recall my Modcloth lust post, I bought some fabric to make the Night Flurries dress

It’s a bit darker in real life, but I hope it’ll do the job

So those are my next couple of projects – I’ve spent far too much money since coming back to Germany, so I’m staying away from the fabric places until I finish these/get paid!
