Turquoise dress with a peacock

I was surprised when Emma asked me to make her a turquoise dress with a peacock - because her favourite colour is purple. When I asked her why she wanted this particular dress, she replied, "Because I think it would look good!"

It's a long time since I blogged - for all the usual reasons of being busy - but I have been making things over that time.
