On the same day and at the same as Tom’s graduation, when I wore The Northumbria , this time at Hull University my sister was receiving her FIRST CLASS HONOURS degree in Archeology!!! I am so proud of her! Her gift had to be a dress to wear at her graduation! Introducing The Graduate……

Clare really loved The York which I made to go to her house on Boxing Day ,and so that was her chosen style for her dress. I bought the trim from AartiJ when I was at  The Sewing Bee meet up at Olympia and  used this gorgeous gaberchino from Calico Laine. I really love sewing this fabric as it has a beautiful drape and weight. I think I need some more colours!
