Spotty jersey dress

My blogging has finally slowed down as it was back to my 'real job' last week. I thought I'd try to make a few dresses that I could wear to work. Here is one I made on a rainy old afternoon-

(My son took these photos and I am holding that yellow belt in place as it is too big- Not the best, I know!)

I added wider straps to this one- more 'teacher suitable' I think!  This little number looks pretty with red, yellow and turquoise accessories (not all at once!) so I think it will be quite versatile. The fabric was from this cool ebay shop in the UK. I thought the postage was reasonable and it arrived really quickly.

My next challenge will be to make a dress with cap sleeves. I don't know how to do sleeves and the pattern I have has really limited instructions so I'll see how I go. If anyone knows of a good tutorial for adding sleeves I'd love to take a peek!

It's another rainy day today. Let's see what fun the kids and I can get up to before they are back to school in Monday.

Thanks for reading!
