Hello! It’s me at last and my new Norah dress

I haven’t yet shown my face in my blog, but here I am at last to show my new Norah dress. We took the pictures yesterday after exiting from the cinema where we went to see a new Finnish action comedy called Big Game.

The tunic works best with some leggings. I have also worn it with a tee-shirt under it or with a cardigan and the outfit looks nice in both ways. The weather was finally warm and sunny, as you can see, but I still carried a button-up shirt just in case.

The pattern is Norah dress from a wonderful book Sy! Urban Collection by Jenny Hellström. I originally borrowed it from the local library, but now I also own a copy after I spotted it at the sales.

There are a lot of nice basic patterns and several suggestion of alterations. For instance, the Norah dress has also a top version.

And again, everything is in Swedish. I think my language skills are improving with every single sewing project!
