first ottobre project came together gratifyingly quickly. took a couple of short evenings plus about 3 hours today, going carefully.

pale grey sweatshirt fleece (from <a valleyglengoods.com) dyed with dylon “ultra violet”. fleece-side-out on the dress. i’m particularly pleased with the buttons on the back (from crafty sew and sew round the corner) and the iron-on appliques. size-wise it just fits (did an 86 in both to see how they came out), the trousers are spot-on, with a little growing room, but the dress is really a bit short. didn’t have much choice though as i was squeezed for fabric and had to cut across the grain to fit the dress pieces on. will see how that turns out after the wash…

preliminary photo still shows iron marks from pressing appliques.
