My finished Tilly and the Buttons Olive pinafore dress, pyjama plans & a fabric haul!

Hello everyone, welcome back for another sewing catchup in today's #fridaysews video.
Today I'm wearing my most recently finished sewing project, the Tilly and the Buttons Olive pinafore dress from her Make It Simple book. I used some deep stash needlecord fabric that is cream with a speckle print and some Prym snaps for the front fastening and pockets.

I'm mulling over what to use my thicker corduroy fabric for - the front runners are either another Pippi Pinafore by Jennifer Lauren Handmade, or a new pattern for me, the Tilly and the Buttons Bobbi Pinafore.

I've also received some more fabric in the post from the medicinal shopping I did to make up for missing the Knitting & Stitching Show. These two were from Simple Life Fabrics - a Nerida Hansen viscose and a remnant piece of pink leopard print cotton jersey that I am planning to turn into a pair of Juno pyjama bottoms from Tilly and the Buttons.

If anyone wants to know about the yarn event my friend is organising in Woolwich, it's called Make Joy and is happening on 9th November - the link to buy tickets and find out more on the vendors and talks planned is here - www.woolwich.w...
Finally, if anyone has any ideas or inspiration suggestions for what I could make for my work Xmas party that is 70s disco themed, please let me know in the comments because I am a bit stumped!
I hope everyone has a lovely sewing week and I'll be back very soon with another video.

I forgot to say your dress is beautiful! You did an awesome job sewing it!

I do think you look really pretty in the pinafore. I know you don’t like the lack of nipped in waste but don’t discount how good it looks on you. 🎉

Thank you! I definitely don't hate it, I think sometimes when a piece of clothing isn't your usual style, it takes a little while to get used to. I am definitely going to be wearing it this Autumn/Winter though.
