All the Wild Horses
I found this super cute printed cotton jersey at the local fabric shop for only $4 a meter and couldn't leave without buying some, even though I didn't know what I was going to make. I'm not overly confident sewing with stretch fabrics and got a few tips from the lovely ladies at my local shop.
When I got home, I went through my hundred of patterns looking for a dress to make. I found Simplicity 8264 a 1978 Jiffy pattern, and it was. Thanks to the previous owner, Jeanette, the pattern even came with an extra short sleeve piece already made. I love my new dress it is easy to wash and wear, no ironing needed, excellent for a busy mummy.
