Ever since making my first White Russian I have been wanting to make a white one. For no reason except I liked the concept of a white White Russian!  

Having made it, I wasn’t certain that I liked it. It was rather… white!

Excuse the pose here, I was watching some parrots go mad in the tree.

I love winter white, but I feel like a snowman in this, and my floor looked as though it had been snowing when I was making it. Anyway, I definitely prefer the back view!

This is day 5 of One Week One Pattern and given that I pledged two patterns, here is the White Russian from Capital Chic Patterns teamed with my black skirt – Vogue 1247 Yes, I look ridiculous trying to fit my hands in the pockets, but I can sometimes get them in if I haven’t eaten too much cake!

The details: White Russian from Capital Chic Patterns made from some bobbly fabric I bought at Fabulous Fabrics, and Vogue 1247 in black cotton from Tessuti Fabrics. Shoes are Arche and the necklace was brought back from Murano by Tom and Bridgette.
