London's Calling

We're on the train heading into London for a day at the museums. I'm off to the V&A to look at the fashion room and Chris is taking the kids to the Science Museum. 

I finished my shirt dress on Thursday and I'm wearing it today. I love it and I'm planning on making a nautical one too.

Next sewing project - shirt dress!

My summer holiday is getting closer and closer. Two lovely new swimsuits arrived today and I need to make myself some new dresses for the evenings. 

I came across these two shirt dresses in last week's Grazia magazine...

...and they reminded me of this pattern that was in my bag of sewing swag from Carol :)

I love yellow and the shape of the hemline, I've also got a thing for dogtooth at the moment. I'm hoping to make a couple of versions for my summer wardrobe.

I had a spare half hour this morning and managed to cut out the pattern pieces, now I'm off to the draw to find some fabric! 

First day of sewing school...

Bag packed and ready to go! Feeling nervous...
