I won!

I never win anything…. Well that’s not true I won once like £25 in lottery, and a stunning colouring book in a craft magazine giveaway. 

I commented on the post during Ankara appreciation week, and next thing I know I was tagged. 



There is me on the bottom very small feet! Also hens very small threads! 

You might think what is Ankara is anyway… it’s same as African wax print, usually 100% cotton with nice pattern/design created using wax resistant dyeing technique. (Thank you Juliet Uzor for lovely article on Simply sewing) 

My chosen pattern arrived today. I decided to make Frida dress … 





It was hard to chose! Emporia Patterns have great options I am however not if they have more sizes above 24. 
I love the shape and pockets. And I love the how the top looks and someone styled the dress with a belt! Stunning! 

Just to find the fabric… 

I have a good stash of African print fabric… I did participate one day of Ankara appreciation week with this top 



Pattern and fabric came form Wax and Wraps  Jacqueline had a wonderful taste! I didn’t make as much as suggested patterns but I m on the mission to use my stunning fabrics! And a made this … 



I will review this sun hat at later day but it sure helped me during the heat wave and after the sun stroke. 

Anyway I am super excited to win! And it’s sewing related!
