Fall has always been my favourite season. The clear blue skies, wool socks and warm apple cider of fall will always beat the sticky humidity, dusty road work, and stinging, biting bugs of summer for me. There’s so much pressure to enjoy the short Canadian summer, but fall changes things. Fall is all about relaxing, snuggling up under a big blanket with the person you love and watching the leaves change so slowly, you’ll hardly recall when it actually happened.
I look forward to working with fall fabrics all year long. The rich textures, romantic colours and woodsy prints give my creativity the jump start it needs after a lazy summer.
The first fabric I’ve chosen to work with this year is a french rose, mustard and charcoal arrow print on cream designed by Andrea Lauren. When I saw this fabric, I thought the colours were perfect for this time of year, when the seasons start to blend, so I planned a dress with a cut to match.
