Adventures in Aztec

Hello World - if you follow me on instagram, you'll already know I've had a really rubbish four days. Rich and I have both been sick with a nasty cold/bug - today I went to work but I'm still far from 100% and I have so much to do (isn't that always the way).

To make matters worse - it was an absolute stunner of a weekend, one of the best we have had for months and months. I'm crossing my fingers the beautiful weather will keep up so I can enjoy with some sunshine this weekend.

The one thing I DID manage to over the weekend is complete a new dress, its a simple tunic dress from my Sew La Tea Do book.

I've had this aztec print fabric sitting in my stash for a while, I bought it at the last fabric-a-brac and I decided that it was time that it finally became a dress. Here's a close up of the fabric.
I hope you've all been having a great week so far - here's hoping that I'll be feeling a bit better tomorrow.
