The daffodils are out, the clocks are going forward, and I'm blogging- it must be spring!
I'm cheating wildly by posting a dress which I made last spring, in May, using both a vintage pattern and vintage fabric from my grandmother's stash (I think- the pattern could have been a lucky charity shop find...)
It's Simplicity 5668 and has a 1973 trademark. It makes me feel a little like an air hostess (which I clearly quite like- as I wore it very often indeed last summer)
As promised by the pattern envelope, it did indeed go together in a Jiffy, very pleasing. I made view 1- in red on the envelope, and quite clearly the envy of misses views 2 and 3. I'd been saving the fabric up for ages, and had all sorts of plans, involving tracing off Burda patterns and altering them. Fortunately I came to my senses and realised that if I wanted a dress this side of 2050 Jiffy easy cut easy sew was where it was at...
I also appear to have taken exception to the photographer- pesky paparazzi!

You're back! Love the dress!
Lovely! Something so pretty has no business being so easy.
Good to hear from you :)
This is wonderful. I am delighted to see you online again and I love your dress and agree that your cut certainly is the envy of misses views 2 and 3.
