I am going to say the hardest thing about having my computer down is that the pictures I want to use for blog posts are on that computer. It makes it hard.
I did go out this weekend and spoil myself with the purchase of silk. I pulled out an old pattern to start making some simple dresses for summer. The pattern is over 25 years old. Vintage Donna Karan Vogue. I wanted something that was silk, a shift or chemise style, and that I could throw into a backpack at a moments notice. Maybe I should be an adult here and say bag but, in reality, it would be a backpack. Add sandals or stockings and heels and I can go to any occasion. If I put a skirt over it, I have a lovely top.
I cut out the right size but I am hoping the pattern still fits. It has been a few years. I have extra fabric if I need to do some modifications. Two pieces of fabric. Four seams. One placket. Four hems. That is all there is to it. If only every dress was this easy!
