I couldn't believe my luck when I found a big piece of this 1960's fabric in the opshop last week. It's a kind of polished cotton/sateen with big brown roses painted on black, watercolour style. It's really the kind of fabric i only dream of finding for $3. (Sorry, fellow op-shoppers!)
I made an autumny dress from it since there was such a good length. I lined the bodice in some brown brushed cotton for extra warmth, and I think it will be a cosy garment to have for these colder months ahead. I'll be able to wear it with tights, boots, cardigans, etc. Because of the old-fashioned fabric, I was going for a kind of vintage style with this dress so I chose this pattern. It's the same one I used for my 'spring dress', coincidentally (or not) but I made a few alterations to the bodice part so it fits better.
The leaves on the trees are turning brown and yellow now. Each April I'm surprised by how beautiful acorns are.
