At the sewing machine ...

This week I started sewing my new red dress.
I think cutting out has been the biggest challenge so far, the sewing part has been fairly straight forward other than sewing the bias binding around the neck. I spent a fidly hour or so trying to interprete vague instructions ... they need to add some more detailed diagrams for this part!
Last Sunday I went to El Rastro (Madrid's big once a week street market) and bought a crochet looking scarf to go around the waist (I'm going to adapt the pattern slightly here).
Thanks to a trip to Camper with Mum (thanks Mum!) I have some lovely new sandals to wear with it, the idea being that they tie in with the scarf.
