Love the material of the first dress, very bold!

I have that shirt dress pattern but I've yet to make it, both kids want me to make them one which means tracing out the pattern (two different sizes required) and I've yet to muster up the energy!

You can buy online from Fabworks but it's even better in real life. As well as lots of luscious fabric on rolls at good prices it haa some really good remnants. Last time I was in I was having such a good rummage in the huge remnant basket I thought I might fall in.... and get locked in the shop overnight.. which actually wouldn't have been all that bad.  ;)

Not buying or ordering any more fabric now as we're off on 'oliday in 2 weeks so it might not arrive before we go and then it'll be a delivery problem .....but when we come back......all bets  are off!!!!

Have a holiday in West Yorkshire so you can visit Fabworks, Immanuels (the 'fabric church') and so on @Catllar ! Seeing where  you live though I think I might have my work cut out selling Yorkshire in January as an ideal holiday destination. And yóu have some great fabric shops near you I think.. maybe we all need to holiday near you instead.  :D

Ey up @sewmuchmore tha took the words reet out of my mouth!

If you want to see why Yorkshire is the ideal holiday destination then look at the Yorkshire Airways video on Youtube - I think it was by Cannon and Ball. They take off from Leeds Airport then land there a few minutes later 'as why would you want to be anywhere else but Yorkshire?'
