I really enjoy the seasonal change! I love packing away my summer dresses (cue: under-bed storage boxes) and digging out my cosy autumn wardrobe. There's so much on my wish list, but I'm going to ease myself in with a super-easy floaty cardigan (page 53) and pom pom scarf (page 29). For the big event, we've got a brand new and totally gorgeous party frock (page 22). This beginnerfriendly silhouette is so easy to glam-up with a luxury fabric such as jacquard. It's not as tricky to sew as you'd think! See page 18 for some top tips.
