Swimming in the fields of gold

After weeks and weeks of stopping and starting I finally finished my swimming ladies dress last night! Hurrrrrrah! I am so pleased with it. I don't know why it took me so long, I guess it's just because I've been so busy and I free-styled with the majority of the dress pattern so it took me slightly longer than usual.

I picked up this adorable fabric from a market stall at the Knitting and Stitch show for dirt cheap. Originally it was going to be a skirt but I simply couldn't resist making it into a dress for summer time; the pale blues, lilacs and yellows are colours I don't have an abundance of in my wardrobe and it's already received lots of compliments.


And....after what seems like forever the sunshine came out to play! It was such a brilliant day! Jonathan and I went to a dog show, which was hilarious (another blog post in itself!), did a little shopping and got back in time for a delicious 'Sunday' dinner.







Dress- Handmade
Boat hat- Garden Centre
Satchel- Camden Market




I really loved this bank holiday Monday which I got to share with my lovely man. Lots of you don't get to see what he looks like as he's usually behind the camera, so here he is! The love of my life, my best friend and the most incredible person I know. Jonathan!





Hoping you're all having a lovely Monday wherever you are!

x Rebecca

    AH! So many things to love!!!! First of all, the pattern of the dress (and the dress itself!!) is amaaaazing! Teach me how to sew!!! :) Secondly, you look gorgeous and WHY DO YOU HAVE GORGEOUS FIELDS LIKE THAT WHERE YOU ARE?! Looks like something out of a movie!! Your hair color looks wonderful, and don't even get me STARTED on the pictures of you and Jonathan (and omg the gif of you jumping into his arms is one of the cutest things I've ever seen). Sigh, so lovely as always :)

    This is so sweet, especially the gif! And I would be content if I could die in that field. It looks like straight out of a filming location.

    That gif is the CUTEST. What a picturesque field. :) I'm so jealous of your awesome ability to make dresses. I wish I had the time and patience to learn! This one came out great. Novelty prints are the best.
