My butterfly fabric  - not a dress after all.  This is Love Notions Pattern LDT top made using the tank version and hi-low tunic hem.

Such a pretty summery tunic - love those butterflies. I take it it's still warm down there then  :).

That fabric is gorgeous and the top looks fantastic on you. You are a bad influence though, I've spent a small fortune on summery fabrics this last couple of months and am supposed to have banned myself from buying any more this year but unless I can muster more self restraint I may just have to go and investigate that one  :S :fish:.

Thanks folks. Yes it's still warmish here - expecting 39 tomorrow, getting cool at night though - 26'ish last night. need a jumper LOL! 

To be fair Surest1ch, if we didn't buy this loveliness it would be lonely and unloved and that would be cruelty to fabric.

That's gorgeous @Catllar!

Can anyone access the Love Notions webpage? For some reason Avast is blocking access for me. (I don't much like Avast but the guy who repaired my laptop 2 months ago put it on, I'm not happy though)

Me too @Helen M. You can temporarily disable Avast or exclude the website - if you're sure it's safe. This page explains how.

I'm getting the message:
'Maintenance mode

7/31/18

Sorry for the inconvenience.
Our website is currently undergoing scheduled maintenance.'

Their Facebook page says 'Good morning!!
The site will be down most of today to migrate to a new host (yes, again). I'm sorry for the inconvenience. This new host has a really good reputation so I'm confident we're not going to have any more issues.'

Maybe the 'issues' they refer to have given Avast a problem, although Avira is fine with the site.

I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

I went on this morning and it was fine but this afternoon I got the maintenance message too. I have Avast but it didn't appear.

According to their FB page they are still having problems with the site. They are changing servers or something and it's all going a a bit Pete!  The pattern I made is a freebie if you register with the site - what's not to love.

Lovenotions website is back up now but only just. Says the LDT pattern is $5 @Francesca .  Maybe it's free if you subscribe which isn't working at the moment so can't tell.

@Francesca can I have a copy of this LDT pattern please?

Thank you!

I think it was free only if you joined the Facebook group.

You're right @Francesca - it's free when you join the Lovenotions Pattern Support Group. Here's the link @annieg. Looks like a versatile pattern.
