Bundle 1
Bundle 2
Bundle 3
And I wound up making the first cut with bundle #2, along

For Round 2, we were given “decades” as our theme. I was
initially a little stumped as I don’t normally pick fabrics or colourways based
on a particular era. So, after some consideration, I thought about the 60s –
specifically Twiggy and I was instantly inspired! I love the bold florals, the
graphic prints and the saturated colours she wore.
