Thank you for reading my blog this year! Hope you all had a great Christmas.
I made myself a new outfit for Christmas Day from a pattern I got ages ago- Burda 7175. I love how it is very Jackie Kennedy and when I got this boucle from Weaver Dee I knew it was perfect for this pattern. The pattern worked out to be really big when I had cut it out so I had to take the sides in quite abit.
I really love all the details on it like the slits and self covered buttons. I put my buttons in a different place to the pattern just because I preferred them there.
And how many people try to climb trees on Christmas Day??? The BM was not best pleased with me. But, she came around as it is Christmas!
I love to see what everyone else gets up to in their house on Christmas Day…..so here is what happens in mine!
If you are wondering about my Mam- she has a terrible cough and so everytime we made her laugh she almost choked! Tom didn’t get his hair cut in time for Christmas so he is showing off a man bun!!!
Have a very Happy Christmas everyone!
Amanda 💝
Pattern : Burda 7175
Notions: two concealed zips 7 inch (skirt) and a 16inch (top), two self cover buttons, 2metres blue boucle.
Wonky Factor: 7/10 I love it, it’s very comfy but it doesn’t look as good as I hoped on the photos!!!
Happy Christmas! Your family looks as bonkers as mine!! Loving the outfit! The fabric looks perfect for the style! Your probably just a bit critical of the pix but it looks great to me! ✂️✂️✂️

Happy Christmas! It’s funny, we seem to have exactly the same pattern collection, ha. I made this a couple of months ago. The skirt turned out really nicely but the top was MASSIVE. Even though I’ve taken it in as much as I can without ruining it, it’s still really big. 😦

We share good taste I reckon!! Yes, the top was so massive and then the lovely sides nearly disappeared! Then I took it in so much the slits are slightly more ‘V’ than they are on the pattern!! Happy Christmas! X
