British Garden Party + A Free Pattern to Download

I have always felt I am more suited to a life of afternoon tea & scones, leafy green gardens and 18th century grandeur. I am speaking of course of the old english style of living; Laid back, delightfully humorous and thoroughly proper.
Of course I do not have the budget for such things but I do find them ever so inspiring.

And below are some fabrics from the fabulous Fat Quarter Shop that I think would compliment the Elegance of The Classic English Garden Party. Oh and here's something juicy! A Free Couture Dress pattern from V&A's Golden Age of Couture. I haven't had the pleasure of trying it out but a free pattern is always welcome in my collection and I know I'm not alone in this





On a personal note: I got a job! Starting Monday the 27th I am the proud employee of a fabric store! Of course, this is somewhat unlikely to be profitable since I will be tempted to spend every penny on fabric/notions/patterns/tools but I will try and be discerning with my employee-discounted purchases.
