Big Blousey Doris - Sewing...Again

 

Found this fabric lurking in the back of the Craft Cupboard - always loved it but never quite knew what to make from it, until now - another blouse, the pattern of which I shamelessly copied off my Biba blouse (I'm actually in the process of making version#3: I think I need to stop now). 

Is wearing a dragonfly print blouse one crazy step away from wearing a fleece jacket with wolves on it?

 

 

The Queen of Bias Binding?

 

 

 

And because making one garment in a week isn't enough, I ran up this lined linen shift dress.

 

Excuse the screen clash

 

 

My legacy: around 48,000 yards of this lining (+5billion zips in crazy random colours which I can never find use for and therefore annoyingly still have to buy a new one prior to each sewing project) handed down to me by my mother who used to sell such things on the markets decades ago. A good boil wash removed the smell of 1971.
