It's been a Framfield kinda start to the week.....
This is the most popular of the Sussex Seamstresses patterns and it's easy to see why! So popular that two ladies went home with the fabric for their next one!
Five lovely ladies were busy in our workshop area sewing their dresses today (apologies Lisa, forgot to take a photo of yours) - we had two completed dresses, one toile with a few alterations and a fabulous funky rayon bodice to be finished at home.
I've added two more to my own Framfield collection - one in this glorious rainbow check and a jersey version (though I did do gathers not pleats for this one and dropped the bodice slightly).
One of the biggest reasons I love this pattern sooo much is that it is perfectly written (the sleeves, and pleated sections fit together like a dream) but it's also easy to make small alterations if you need to to get a perfect fit for you 😍 Yippee for Jayne at the Sussex Seamstress.
