Simplicity 1419, lisette

Last year I did a workshop on sewing a dress.

It got me hooked. I had been trying and trying to get in sync with the sewing machine.
I think I've done it!

I love this pattern. 
It's easy enough for me to understand and has enough technical bits and pieces to make me feel like I've achieved something.
This is my 2nd one, and both dresses are good enough to wear out of the house, and to work even!

Jooshing a frock

I got a lovely grey dress at a fab sale yesterday. The comments I got when I showed the family went along the lines of: "that's very pedestrian for you" "it looks like a school pinafore" " it's a bit grey".  So I jooshed it with some bright pink cotton crochet :-) 

When it's on it looks quite retro :-) 

I'm sold on the crochet collar look now... Next step is to see how many items if clothing I can adorn :-)
