I totally have tights envy
Love the way you’ve styled that skirt (and it fits you so well!). I try not to wear gray because it’s not the best colour on me but I have a very generous cut of double knit is charcoal gray and I was thinking just yesterday that I could make a dress and wear it with a red cardigan to add a bit of colour and then I saw your post and it convinced me to do just that.

zomg I have that same orange sweater but without the wrap at the front. Thick rib with full sleeves-it’s heck-old but I hang on to it because my mum got it for me all those ages back XD Also, cool tights, where’re they from?

I’d love to have an orange version of that sweater…Mine is also from ages ago but I love it still! I got the tights some time ago at Calzedonia http://www.calzedonia.it/en/collezione/spring-summer-woman
They seem not to have stores yet in Australia…but if you need anything I could ship it

Thank you, Silvia, for drawing my name!
I love your apron skirt; It looks fabulously made and flatters you wonderfully. And I admire your tights.
I must admit I originally raised my eyebrows at the pattern’s line drawing, but I think it is misnamed (or I have some archaic ideas about aprons).
I hope my fingers are working better today; the typos I made in my first comment are making me blush.
Thank you for hosting this wonderful giveaway.

Beautiful! I really like the combination of red and grey. And of course, everything you make looks lovely on you.
