So here goes the story ………..
My friend Sheena had a bit of a fashion dilemma. Hubby had a new job and they were due to attend his work’s Christmas party. She wanted to look good in front of his colleagues but couldn’t find a thing to wear.
One morning she plonked a catalogue down on my desk and pointed to this dress …
“What do you think?” she asked.
“The dress is quite nice” I replied “but I don’t think it’s your colour”.
“I’m not keen on the colour myself” she said “and I don’t really like the hem either, but it’s the only dress I’ve seen that’s anywhere near what I’m looking for”. I spotted the price. They want £89 for it???
So I said it.
“I’ll make one for you” I told her “it’ll be the colour you want, the hemline you want and it’ll cost you a fraction of that one”. I showed her Simplicity pattern 3529 and she loved it.
