At this stage I’m sure no one is surprised I’ve made another myosotis, this is my 4th one and quite possibly not my last.
I wanted something I could wear to work hence my choice of a darker style of fabric.
This one I picked up at The Fabric Store and while it was marked as lawn it feels a good deal heavier than any of the other lawns I’ve got. Especially much heavier than any of the Liberty lawns that I own. Initially I had thought it was because it was a darker colour but nope it really doesn’t feel or react like the other Liberty lawns. Weird.
These photos were taken on the way home from a full day at work so you can see at least it doesn’t wrinkle up too much despite a days worth of wear.
It did however sew up nicely and well quickly as I smashed this one out just before we went to England for Christmas. I even omitted the pockets in order to get it sewn faster. Because I’ve made it a few times, I know I can just pull it on over my head so I don’t bother with the buttonholes and just sew the buttons directly through both plackets closing them up. These are some fun slightly vintage style ones that helped bring a darker fabric to life.
Despite being much darker than I normally wear this one has been in heavy rotation during the holiday and then wearing it to work since then. I just wish it was as light and airy as my other lawn pieces which would be a great help in this sweaty weather.
Pattern – Deer and Doe Myosotis

Alterations – omitted pockets for speed of sewing, don’t do that again!
