I bought this fabric at the end of last summer hoping to make a nice floaty dressing gown to wear for summer breakfasts in the garden, rather than being too hot in my wintery fleece one or having to actually get dressed...very lazy, but a fab excuse for a new dressing gown. Then what with my easy distraction and moving house, I only got as far as cutting it all out.
When the sun came out for the first time the other day I suddenly remembered I hadn't finished it and fished all the pieces out of the cupboard. It whizzed up in no time at all, which is just as well because the fabric was an utter nightmare to sew. I only had to breathe near it and it slithered off halfway across the room, requiring about a million pins and a fair bit of patience.
(A few more terribly modelled shots and I had to do a bit of weirdy knee bending in this one to fit in the picture)
It all paid off though because I love my new dressing gown! It feels very glam, and a bit like I should have my hair in rollers and be smoking cigarettes from a holder and wearing fluffy heeled slippers....or something.
