I took apart a dress to use as a pattern. A lovely pattern. But when I finished my clipping and snipping, I found I was left with the lining. My first thought was quilt squares. I do have a tendency to take all my white fabric for my nine squares. Then I got looking at that batiste linen.
My head went hmmmm. I stitched the seams back together. Finished the edges. Modified the back and added some ribbon accents that means the shift would not fall off of me.
And now I have a cotton shift to wear under dresses, around the house, or to sleep in. It got me wishing for more batiste. I might just have to make a fabric store run. I have just done a couple of those but I may cave.
