This looks awesome! I want to do an Autumn palette too. I'm thinking more brown, navy, charcoal.

OK, this may be a rather basic question, but everyone is putting up such nice collages of their project plans (here and over at Colette) and I am just wondering what tools people are using to compile their images.

I don't have a spring palette but I do have a finished crepe dress! Hooray!

I am really relieved because it's late here in England, I can only sew once my little girl is in bed, tomorrow night I am going to wear my first crepe dress (from the valentine challenge 2 weeks ago) to my lovely friend Gemma's engagement party and then it is Sunday.... so I had to finish tonight or not meet the challenge.

I will get photos tomorrow I hope!

This was my Spring Palette:

Spring Wardrobe Challenge

and here's what I've made thus far:

I love this dress! It isn't the best color ever on me, but that's what happens when you attack your fabric stash. At least now I know I like the pattern. I might add an inch or two to the hem length, but besides that, I think it's pretty much a perfect design. Here's a close-up of the bodice:
