When Joann's had linen on a very good sale a while back, I picked up four or five pieces of linen for dresses. Since then, there have been shirts and quilts that I taken precedence. After I got the Pixie quilt finished, I made myself a dress out of the purple piece.
It does not really take me that long to put a dress together anymore. At least for the ones I like. Even if I were to make a class sheath for business, most dresses take only a couple of hours. This one became even more simple because I have really liked the weekend dress I modeled after a picture I saw of a French dress. The one that cost me less the $10 to make that the were selling for $200 Euros. But this way, the arm length is what I want and so is the skirt length.
This turned out to be so comfortable. I also really like the length.
Too my toes! If I put my boots on, I do like someone who should be on the frontier. Not a bad thing and it makes me smile. Smiles are good.
