#mnsudley

My Christmas #frankendress all finished ready for Christmas Day. Inspired by a dress Charlotte wore on the @bettymagazine blog. It’s the bodice & sleeve of #mnsudley & the cuff from #mndove by @megannielsenpatterns & the lower half & ruffle from the #roscoedress by @truebias fabric from Leon’s in Chorlton, Manchester. Might have to swish around in her today for a bit! So happy! Merry Christmas everyone xxx (at Goostrey)

So pleased with how my #frankendress is turning out. Hems & hand sewing to go tomorrow. #mnsudley #mndove #roscoeblouse @megannielsenpatterns @truebias

Saw a red velvet dress on @bettymagazine blog & decided to copy it. Done a trial run with cotton & I’m so excited it’s turned out amazing. I used @megannielsenpatterns #mnsudley bodice & sleeve & #mndove cuff, then the lover part of @truebias #roscoe dress & ruffle. Love this dress already & can’t wait to cut the velvet out on Monday!

Another @megannielsenpatterns #mnsudley completed. Again I bound the neck so I could put side seam pockets in again, but no collar this time.

Saw a dress in an independent shop in Manchester's Northern Quarter & fell in love with it, but it was basically a @megannielsenpatterns #mnsudley in a mustard cord. When I saw this cord fabric at Leon's Chorlton, I knew it would be perfect. I didn't line it as I wanted side seam pockets. I'm so, so pleased with this.. Just ready for my trip back 'home' to London. 😻

Successful shopping trip with my birthday cash. Bottom 2 a brown embroidered cord & a flowered viscose to make @tillybuttons #marthadress, black cord to make ANOTHER #cleodungarees & I had a dream about a yellow cord @megannielsenpatterns #mnsudley & found this polkadot cord & a zip for my @grainlinestudio #mossskirt all from Leon's in Chorlton & found duffle buttons for my #cascadedufflecoat & dungaree clips for black #cleodungarees home with a cuppa #lovemanchester #memadeeveryday #imakemyownclothes
