I'm starting to get back into the swing of things after a few weeks of craziness, illness, and travelling, and boy, I've really missed you guys! And my sewing machine too! So what better way to celebrate the long-awaited arrival of autumn than to whip up a cute floral dress to wear with tights and boots? So I pulled out this Laura Ashley number from the clothes swap last month. It fit alright and was nice medium-weight jersey fabric perfect for cooler weather, but the skirt was a bit too long and the collar a lot too tight. Seriously, I could barely get my gargantuan cranium through that thing!
