Mr P and I recently returned to Amsterdam for the 'Little Dragon' concert, I really love Amsterdam, it is such a pretty place.

| Mr P and me ! |
In other news I am hoping to start on a dress tonight - but it will just be tracing - and sizing up the pattern tonight. I know that loads of sewers hate the tracing part, but I actually quite like it !
Also, is it wrong to make a 2 tone dress ? I would like to use white cotton for the bodice and green polka dot for the skirt. hmmmmmm
I wish you all a very happy Friday ! yippppeeeee !!!

Looks like a great visit!
ReplyDeleteI think a two-tone dress with a white bodice is a great idea for spring! (I may be bias though as I just made one ;-) ) The green polls dots sound too cute!
*polka (darn auto-correct)
Delete:-) It is a lovely place to visit. I love anywhere with lots of water ! Have you posted your dress so I can check it out ? I shall head on over now ! xx
DeleteYou are Mr. P are so cute! I love that photo!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jennifer - the dress sounds perfect for spring! Go for it!
I also really enjoy tracing patterns :-) I don't understand why some people don't like it! Cutting out the fabric, on the other hand, is not so fun!
I quite like this pic of the 2 of us :-) Usually I look so awful in pictures. I love tracing, its fun ! I even like cutting fabric (I use a rotary cutter). Ah, except silk. I DID NOT enjoy cutting that ! Thanks guys re the confirmation I am defo gonna go with the two tone. xx
DeleteIs it me, or has street art upped it's game recently? I took a trip to Brick Lane last Sunday and was well impressed! I love what you found in Amsterdam... and I really like the sound of your dress! :-)
ReplyDeleteI KNOW ! I worked in Bishopsgate until 5 years ago and used to be down brick lane all the time. There is some quality art round there - I have some pics of it. He have one hanging in our kitchen. There were some gems in the dam too, amazing amazing work !
DeleteOh wow, I am so jealous that you can pop over to Amsterdam for a concert! That is some awesome street art.
ReplyDeleteI think your white and polka dot 2tone sounds perfectly lovely!
I know ! So lucky, it only takes an hour to fly there. Its a shame you live so far away, but if you ever get to Europe you should go visit for sure. Thanks re the dress, I have the fabrics pinned to my dress form to give me inspiration ! xx
DeleteGreat photos! I've never been to Amsterdam, but it looks so lovely! I'm with you-- the two-toned dress sounds super cute! (I'm a tracing hater, though... I just don't have a good technique, and I always feel like I'm making a mess and taking forever).
ReplyDeleteHa ! You should send me your tracing and I will do it for you ! :-) If you get the chance to go to Amsterdam you should go, the buildings are just beautiful ! Great job with the Monkey ! xx
