Made myself a special dress for our trip to Liverpool this year

Just wanted to share this with people who might appreciate!

I saw the flag fabric on eBay while technically supposed to be shopping for a totally different sewing project, and it practically yelled at me to be made into a Eurovision dress.

Obviously the flag selection isn't totally perfect, but none of the people who stopped me around the arena to compliment it seemed to mind 😄

Even ran into someone inside the arena who recognised it from the tag over on Mastodon, what are the chances of that?!

That fabric is so cute! The flag situation's fine, sure it's not comprehensive but I didn't spot any that shouldn't be there😎

It's really nice, and good on you for dressing for the occasion - it made the place so much more colourful and fun. I kinda wish I'd done something like that, in retrospect:/

Thank you! Honestly I was so jealous of some of the costumes, and especially all the face paint and glitter. Sadly we had to set off at about 5am to get there and I was in no state to be doing anything elaborate 😄

Sleep deprivation is no fun😭 but you made an effort! And it looks great! I only got as far as "guess I have a sweater, that'll do"
