In preparation for moving house (if that actually happens), I have been trying to work my way through some fabrics in my stash and not add anything new! I’m dithering a bit about a couple of cuts that I haven’t settled on a pattern for, but this fabric was always going to be this blouse, so it was an obvious project to tick off my list and move from my sewing room to my wardrobe.

Orchards Dress #2

I can’t remember when I decided to make this dress or that I would use this fabric for it, but it feels like it’s been in the planning for quite some time. Having afternoon tea to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary in August seemed like the perfect occasion to wear it, so I added it to my list of things to sew during July (I never like to rush these things!)
