Its just been a while since I’ve blogged about it. I was busy making bags for my little Etsy shop

but now I’m back to the clothes.

I’ve tweaked my Merchant and Mills Trapeze pattern once again, to make a mini dress/tunic length. And the first thing I made from this new pattern was a dress for my works Christmas party. I made it from the textured black and white ponte roma that I made a top from from in the summer. I had a hunch it would make a good dress for a party. And I think I was right. Very happy with it indeed.

It was a nice easy make. The fabric is a joy to work with.

Here it is as party dress, I hope I’m not too old at the age of 45 to be wearing a mini dress like this. Don’t worry won’t wear it without tights, that was not a good look!

It also looks good as casual wear, worn with jeans and Uggs or Birkenstocks.

I probably prefer it worn casually but then again I prefer casual wear now a days anyway!

Hope you like it, I do.
