The dress shirt from merchant and mills



I recently started stocking dressmaking patterns from Merchant and Mills
I made a few pieces from the Camber set pattern and decided to give the shirt dress a go.
One thing I have found is how well the patterns are to use. Really good quality paper patterns and the instructions are very well written and easy to follow. Honestly, I know I want people to buy from me but I mean it! I have just finished this one using Kona Cotton sour apple .
I am really pleased with it and am looking forward to wearing it but as I type this  I am actually wearing  (survived 2 washes..) this pink one. I made using the Kona Cotton blush pink. sorry about the rubbish picture. I have to get better at this selfie thingy!!! I am not a fan of having my picture taken.

 I am going a little make crazy at the moment, and I am sure it has something to do with my new overlocker. I love the professional finish and has given me a little boast of confidence. I made this cushion as a thank you to my lovely friend lisa who walked my gorgeous frank while I suffered from the flu. And yes it WAS flu. I think when you have been bed ridden for more than 3 days and it lasted 2 weeks I can say that?
All better now and with this high wind and chilly day I am struggling to want to walk Frank but I best go do it and then I can make something else.! You have to look at the positive....

  2. I'm rubbish at selfies too - but those dresses look good, however they're photographed.
