Caught in your web

Who doesn't like cobwebs, especially on their clothes? I've wanted to make a cobweb print day dress ever since I made my ridiculously ott one for Halloween. I used a Butterick pattern that was supposed to be easy but I really struggle following patterns as I have a short attention span! Anyway I don't think she turned out to bad, I also made a little belt and turban to match and she was worn on Valentines Day, to Tesco as I'm a real classy gal.
It's not just the lighting, I have red hair now, and like half the length it was, still think I will go back to black eventually but I'm enjoying the change for awhile, if anyone could recommend tips for brows and ginger hair I still keep doing mine black aha. 












My bruised Valentine fell off his bicycle hence the gnarley bruise - he's okay!

Fabric & Patterns

I bought these 1980s patterns about a month ago from a fab stall at the altrincham market, a £1 each! I thought they were rather 40s in style, alas I cannot afford the prices of real vintage patterns. Yesterday I finally  got round to getting some material. I had in my mind gingham only, but then I spied this fabulous Chaplin print! What do you reckon I should make with it? I am thinking a peplum blouse of sort!
