Happy New Year

It's been a bit hectic over the past few weeks. I managed to sew a dress (New Look 6123) and jacket (New Look 6028).
I am rather pleased with how my dress turned out. I wore the outfit for a wedding. 

The jacket is part of the "easy range" and was very easy to follow. The pattern sizes do not need adjusting but I found the arms were too wide. The dress was not from the easy range but was very easy to follow. The dress style was elegant and I will be making more in this style. I will be trying the  cross over top. I would recommend both these patterns. 
I have bought the Great British Sewing Bee Sew Your Own Wardrobe. A real bargain from WH Smiths at £6!  I am already excited at making a start using these patterns but first I need to do a few other projects first......
Let me know if you have worked with some good patterns that you would recommend or bad patterns that you would advise to avoid. Make a comment in the comments below for other readers to see. I look forward to hearing from you!
