If you've been following for a while, you'll probably know that I always think of the 40's on patriotic holidays. So, on the fourth I finished up my Polka Dot Splendour Dress.
This pattern was an absolute DREAM to work with! The pleats and gathers made it adjustable, leading to a lot less fitting. It's so comfortable, and classy, and modern!
I wore it again to VBS tonight, and it was just fine, even while Baby wrangling. :D
I highly recommend this pattern if you can find a copy!
I also have a few other outfits to show off, so stay tuned.!

Sherlock!!
Just a quick note to Say, I have decided never to apologise when I can't post. Life is Life, and I won't be sorry for it. I have been sewing up a storm and can't wait to show you my newest finished projects.
Next of all, I'm about to douse you in a bit of Childish Fandom. Though I can't recommend it as a wonderful family show, I have completely fallen in love with BBC Sherlock!
To move on though, They're trying to tear down the Home of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and to show our hatred of the idea... aaaannd to show our support of Sherlock (season two moment) We've all done This:
Happy International "I believe Sherlock" Day!!!
