quick!

I am normally a slow, s-l-o-o-o-w maker - mainly due to my tendency to overthink, procrastinate and change plans along the way. This last week has been different for some reason.

Last Friday, I decided to clean up my fabric stash in an attempt to avoid going to a fabric sale (I succeeded!), and found a tablecloth that I had planned to make into a dress... except when I washed it (more than a year ago), I noticed some stains that I couldn't cut around. Looking at it again, I decided to embrace the (tiny) stains - nothing like some pre-existing imperfection to lower my stress levels! I grabbed one of our favourite Kate dresses and carefully stretched it to make a kind-of-pattern, and then cut and sewed and made a dress (and hastily took a photo before heading out for dumplings).

This morning, I saw this tutorial. A couple of hours later, I stuck up our own version - not so carefully made and a lot more colourful - in her craft corner. Now I want one too... Hope you're having a happy time - fast, slow or whatever speed you like! x
