I'm Ready

Shopping's done, cake's iced - a bought cake, obviously - I've just finished the last of my knitted gifts, everything's wrapped and delivered AND I've finished my Christmas frock.
It's another Laurel - I wanted something easy to make, and that I knew would fit, now that I've made one or two adjustments. I had intended to make the version with plain sleeves, but I showed the partially-finished dress and the pattern to my friend Lynne who said "Oh I love the frills on the sleeves" so although I wasn't at all sure, I decided to add them, and now I've really glad I did. Definitely makes it into a proper Christmas frock.
I'm really pleased with it, to such an extent that it's actually a "Christmas decoration" at the moment. (I don't know about anyone else, but whenever I've made something that I'm really pleased with,  I tend to leave it hanging somewhere that I'll keep seeing it.  And it makes me smile.  
If I don't get to say it later, hope you all have a lovely Christmas xx

  4. Tartan is always a winner at Christmas and I'm not surprised you left it hanging. It's gorgeous. :-)
