That's what I plan on doing next time.

I laughed at your stress dream--in my version I'm somehow both the teacher and the student (which feels true) but I have triple the amount of work and somehow saved it all up till the end of the school year.

It's always the first day of year <br />twelve- the mere thought of a whole year of hard work, angst and <br />bitchiness ahead is enough to wake me up in a cold sweat.

(I went to school for a little too long) and I feel a bit sad about it! I hated high school, but I loved university, and for me September was always the start of the new year, not January. Regardless, I want some new not-back-to-school clothes too! It's been REALLY cold where I live and summer already feels over, so I'm ready to start rocking some fall sewing.

Back in my teens my sister and I would pour over the H&M catalogues (they were huge in mail-order back in the day), and mom would let us order some new clothes for the start of the school-year. I still have the deep-rooted feeling that when the air cools, it's time for something new! I'll be participating this fall, going back to school myself! Um - to become a teacher... so I can keep going back to school forever!

It is just ever so slightly just starting to warm a little here in South Australia, but I could imagine that would look good with some tights as well. I'm fairly new to sewing but am currently sewing in a gallery as part of an art project so love to see what the popular patterns are.

I can remember almost all of mine; overalls (with plaid lining, obvs), 90's striped sweater, even more exciting overalls, ochre pants, etc. I can totally relate to that outfit making all the other stuff ok, for at least a little bit! <br />Oh yes, you've nailed it. <br />I was wondering what, exactly that print was (which means it's a good one)! <br />Also in the camp that has no excuses not to have made this skirt, because I've had the pattern forever.emily mariehttp://seemore-dreammore.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937322106192241083.post-68883419990601505122014-08-14T20:37:43.211-07:002014-08-14T20:37:43.211-07:00I never looked that good OR had as cute an outfit!...I never looked that good OR had as cute an outfit!!!
