I made another dress last week. It is 100% cotton, 3/4 sleeves with two front pockets. At first, I was convinced the fabric was too thin but will all the sweeps and three layers for the big front pockets, it hangs very well and doesn't cling to parts of mine like my other two dresses that I made recently. It's always a weird thing buying fabric and hoping it will conform to the ideas that I have in my head about how fabric should look and feel.
I got an amazon voucher from my dear brother for my birthday at the end of March. It was a truly lovely suggestion but I'm clueless what to buy with it. I know fabric would be the obvious choice but I like to see a piece of fabric in real life and to touch it as well. I need to see it and feel the weight of it to get some idea IF it will work for me. I'm quite picky about fabrics. Also, I find amazon's search features for fabrics, well, frustrating to say the least.
I haven't been as creative as I would like to buy as my dear son wants to go for long walks lately and really, it is England after all and when the sun is out, you really have to take advantage of it. Yesterday's walk was just over 8 miles from Silsden to home. We haven't done that walk before and it was definitely a winning walk. Stretches of nice houses, woods and views of the countryside and very little people. We definitely decided to include that on our list of walks for the future.
Apart from that, I had a job offer but I'm waiting for references still. I imagine it will still be some time as it is the Easter Holidays now and my references I supplied are teachers as obviously, I was in education for 7 years. SEVEN years. I'm still desperately trying to escape that unhappiness.
I am now going to cut some pattern pieces for my next project, pictures will follow:
