Description

i bought a load of old burda mags of ebay and as i was going to an abba themed night i decided to have a look through them. i fell in love with this one and knew what fabric i was going to use!! it came to.gether very well and i loved the end result! i omitted the pockets but i might do another in a plain fabric and put them in. i.m not really blonde either lol

stretch jersey fabric
strip of metallic band for the neck
