Last week I was hunting fabric stores for some plain red oilcloth soft enough to make a Don't Look Now-inspired raincoat. Totally failed on that mission (any leads?) but I couldn't resist snatching up the last 90cm of this stunning Martha Negley cotton, Autumn Medley Maples. Stitching the leaf print design feels like a great way to welcome in the new season, and the colour palette is just soooooo gorgeous. I'm squeezing a pencil skirt out of it, using Burda Style's Jenny pattern. There isn't quite enough fabric for a high waistband so I'm making adjustments here and there. Hopefully I'll have a finished project to show you soon...
