Addicted to Spots


This is my latest creation (Butterick 5088) - finally finished after months of sitting on my dummy.  I had several hurdles to completion, it took me ages to find buttons I was happy with and then it was hot over summer and so there was no motivation to finish it. 

Now is is getting colder at night in Brisbane I was finally motivated to complete it.  I love the sleeve detail and slightly retro feel.


It seems I have a fascination with spots right now having jsut bought black/white, red/white and blue/white fabrics for dresses and skirts.  I couldn't decide so bought them all.

  1. Yay another brissy girl! Love your jacket and welcome. I just started my blog too. I will have to find out where you get your fabric from because I am struggling to find nice jacket/wool material! Keep up the good work!
