FRIDAY IS HOUSEWORK DAY..YUK!!

Want a white or pale pink sun dress for my sons Parade....knew l would never find the one l want in the shops so decided l'd make it...not made a dress for me or anyone for a very long time ( was my career.....weddings special occassion outfits hats childrens clothes for many years)

Well l haven't lost it made a perfect fit bodice in one fitting and on yourself thats not easy to do hehe....all l need now is the fabric!!!!!
