All that clipping I did became a shift and a dress pattern. I picked linen and I let my Beloved pick the color so I could try the pattern out.
Some quiet time with my machine and then a needle and thread, and there was a simple sheath dress.
The two changes I made was to add six inches and not use a button on the back but stitch it together.
Simple make. Simple dress. So very comfortable. I have picked up some light wools and one more linen to make a few more. A sheath dress which can be for work or at home. Life is lovely.
