first dress made woo hooo

So it has been a great long weekend. I did a little more to my cross stitch. I really like it, but not sure what to do when done. I went to get a quote from a picture framers for the 'think happy thoughts' that i stitched a while ago. £65! Yes you read right £65! That did not make me think happy thoughts! I am going to try another shop as I think I went into this one looking like a millionaire or stupid! The best bit of having a long weekend was i got to finish my dress. The pictures not great, no make up and my hair could have done with a brush. I was so excited that i couldn't wait.

My first ever home made dress from a pattern.

It was an 'easy' make, and has given me the confidence to try another. I have a few to choose from but they all look sooo hard!

I also put some vintage fabric on Etsy, some of which i like soooo much i may use in my next project. Have a look on the link at the top for just a few. I wouldn't mind making a head band with the left over dress fabric too. I actually have a metre left - any suggestions?

If your back at work tomorrow i hope you enjoy and remember... only four days until the weekend! x
