Berlin Berlin

Berlin- what a city. Filled with the most incredible quirky thrift shops, 5 storey charity shops and in December, the most wonderfully festive Christmas Markets. I was not expecting to explore half as much as I did, but 5 days in Berlin was just amazing. On Sunday I managed to find a flea market drowned in the rain, but still absolutely worth going to. It made me realise I will definitely have to return in the sunshine to find more treats. You know it has been a good holiday when you have to book another suitcase home!

Pattern Playing

With all these cold wet rainy days I find myself with a few more hours inside so my new plan is to play with patterns a lot more. Here is an example of a bib dress I created for a potential new J&H which I have now made into a dress for myself. I found this end of line liberty floral fabric near Shepherds bush and knew it would find its way into it's very own garment. Now all I am thinking is what to make next..

Monday inspiration
