I`m in for the Hawthorne sew-along!

I never had a chance when I saw this sew-along!

I mean, just look at this dress! 

It has everything that I like in a dress!

Collar, buttons, a wide swearly skirt... 

And you can make it whit allmost any fabric you like!

The variations are big;

whit or whitout sleeves, short sleeves or simply make a peplum top!

At first, I want to make a summer-dress, so I am going for the sleeveless version

I must admit, desiding for wich fabric to use took me several days!

I just could`nt decide. When I first saw this pattern and these pictures on Colette, 

I instantly fell for the seersucker fabric they have used on the pictures above.

But I doubt the colour white would suit me very well. At leas not as a dress where I would`nt have any

where to hide my pale legs.  Haha... 

I am very light-skinned, so for me that would feel very "naked" if you know what I mean?

And I have allways thought of seersucker as a fabric thats mainly intended for bedsheets.

But my curiosity is awaken! I have to trye this!

So I bought 4 yards of this fabric, at Fabric.com

This is more suitable for me, I think.

Allso, I couldt stop thinking about what to wear whit this dress?

You know, SHOES <3

And cardigans... at the office, out to dinner or at the beach?

I had to make something that is versatile, so that it doesnt just end up at the back of my closet.

And, oh! Pockets! I love pockets! Yep, I said it before.

But what kind of pockets I dont know yet.

Are you in for the Hawthorne sew-along?

I would love to hear abour you`re dress!
