This day gets a mention on its lonesome because I made this frock the day before.
It's a very busy picture, but I thought the dress perfectly suited what we call the Ladies Lounge because of the lovely ladies with a shade of green, adorning the walls, coffee table and cushion.
Made from simplicity 6672 from 1976 (I think). I used some fabulous t shirt fabric from the same era ( I think again), which I've had for ages and have been waiting for the right pattern to present itself. This dress was a breeze to make. I love using this fabric because i don't have to finish the edges, but it frustrates me at the same time because it doesn't behave like cotton does. I also loved being able to use a couple of massive buttons.
I leave you with a couple of pictures of my lovely offspring. The 3 kids playing in a bookcase on it's side, a photo op too good to miss. Ginger tells me she is "just scratching" her nose.
Here's Alby in his newly decorated room. He loves his adventure wonderland.
clever Jim and Matt!! that bed is TREE-ific!
