Me and Maude

If you've been a reader of my blog for a while you'll be aware that my Mum designs patterns and sews etcetc and you may also recall me making a Maude skirt last year when she first released the pattern, well, since my only other Maude is now slightly too big for me I thought it was time for a new one and it couldn't be better timed as if you pick up tomorrow's (14/07/16) edition of Love Sewing Magazine you can download the pattern and make one yourself!

A-line skirts never go out of style and are by far my favourite shape for skirts and dresses, they're easy to dress up and down and flatter pretty much any body shape. They're super 60s and retro and make me feel a million times cooler than I actually am.

I love the muted colours of this floral print, especially the pink and coral tones which I think they go perfectly with my little denim jacket. I like that this outfit is very definitely summery but that I will be able to wear the skirt throughout autumn and winter with a jumper and some wooly tights too.
