Gemma’s Southbank Sweater

Well, it seems Hayley has done it again! A box full of lovely treats as a gift to myself for valentines (because who doesn't want a gift of fabric, at any time?) The main fabric is just an entire gift itself, I cannot begin to describe how beautiful it is!

Gemma’s Ogden/Marigold Jumpsuit

We all know how much I love a jumpsuit. And dungarees. Given the choice (which is usually most days) I will happily relive my childhood wardrobe days and wear an all-in-one outfit. I love the ease of them - it pretty much is all I need to think about, looks like I made an effort (even if I didn't) and also works really well with my figure.

Gemma’s Hinterland Dress

I've come across double gauze fabric a few times before, and at the time of receiving my box from Hayley I even had some sitting in my stash, but had not yet been convinced to sew with it. I wasn't sure if I liked the feel of it, and couldn't imagine liking how it would feel as a garment, or how it would look.

Gemma’s York Pinafore

One of the things I love about receiving my box each month is the surprise element of what kind of fabric I will receive, and Octobers fabric did not disappoint! A child of the 90’s, this ripped denim/tartan mix number really took me back, invoking many memories of some rather choice outfits from when I was younger (I’m looking at you mum!)

When I received the ‘Really Wild’ themed box my heart exploded even more. I am a very big fan of leopard print.
