Ok, you know how I said this blog was to chart the progress of pattern cutting? Well, I also warned you it would end up being about fabric – well, why not! I have my first project, and it isn’t what I expected it would be! I was going to make a skirt, but I took a neighbour to Fred Winter in Stratford today because she needed something, and I ended up succombing to some Liberty Tana Lawn. I had seen this dress on Pinterest a while ago and thought it would be cool to make, so when the fabric practically sat up and demanded to be purchased, who was I to say “no”??? So project no. 1 is going to be this dress.
What do you think??
Just as a matter of interest, if you are a sucker for Liberty’s Veruna Wool, Fred Winter have a limited selection right now for £30 per metre. They will post samples and are quite happy to pop lengths in the post!
THE COMPULSIVE SEAMSTRESS 
Great combo of fabrics! That is something I need to work on. I’m putting it in my notebook to make something with three different fabrics. Very nice indeed.
