a brown linen dress

I finally finished the linen dress I cut out last June.  Life has that just been that full and there have that many expected babies on the way.  I have been working on quilts.  A lot.  I have a tendency to put myself on the back burner.  My family fusses.  So while I was making the Pixie's quilt, I put my dress together at the same time.

I know I am silly.  I sew a seam on a nine square and sew a straight seam.  It means I only have a few seams where I am not working on the quilt at the same time.

I chose to wear the same style a lot.  I really like it in linen.  My frontier dress.  Or very similar to a 200 Euro dress.  How very strange!

My Beloved picked out the buttons.  Red and glitter.  Something I would not have picked out for myself but I love them.

I got such complements on the buttons when I wore the dress to work on Monday.  It feels very silky and it is a huge pleasure to wear.
