For my latest foray into textile design and home sewing I  made myself a cotton dress to wear to my dear friends’ June wedding in London.

As usual I had the fabric digitally printed by Woven Monkey in the UK having made a white, red and pale green version of one of my cockerel variations; as my dad once said I’ve certainly got a lot of mileage out of that cockerel!

I decided to finish the hems with red bias binding to match the cockscombs….

…and luckily enough found a pair of my favourite Fly London sandals in the exact same shade…

…and finished the ‘look’ with white nails and sunglasses…

The dress stood up well to the festivities – just a couple of armhole stitches popped during the disco phase!

And the wedding was absolutley wonderful.
