Pink Floral Fabric
I managed to get some great fabrics in Hong Kong, there is so much choice you can literally get anything you want or need there, the only problem is having enough room in your suitcase to bring it back. One of my favourites was this pink floral fabric:
I managed to make a dress and a skirt out of it, and had enough left over for my mum to make a dress for herself!
For my friend Rags’ birthday I made her a cute pleated skirt with buttons all the way down the back. This was really easy to make and didn’t require any sort of pattern just measuring the waist (which luckly for me is the same size as me so I can wear it too!). The plus side is that you can wear this skirt either way round, with the buttons at the front or the back.
I also made a pretty summery dress, that would be perfect to wear to a picnick or tea party. The top is gathered, but if I were going to do this again I might adjust the pattern as it does not hang in the best possible way. There is a sash which ties around the waist with a long bow at the back, which means that the dress should flatter most people.
