project updates

finished! blue flowered cotton dress for me adorable "lightning mcqueen" outfit for 3 year old DD sundresses for both DD progress: I gave in and cut new sleeves for the yellow linen dress, I had just enough fabric left. Have to set them now, attach skirt and hem. starting new:

Silk blouse - vogue 9771, bias with drapey front, doing the long sleeve version in scrumptious chocolate brown silk jacquard. I'm carefully reading the 'cowl stay' section in High Fashion Sewing Secrets. I'd forgotten all about the option, but a thread here reminded me, and just in time!

linen suit - vogue 2853. My first attempt at serious tailoring, although I've applied some of the techniques to 16th century garb with good success. I got the linen (a peaceful bluegreen) cheaply and have plenty extra for disaster recovery. I'm busily tweaking the muslin and studying my tailoring books. If this flies, whole new worlds of lovely suits for work will be within my reach (and my budget).

more sundresses for DDs - these things are like salted peanuts, they are so much fun. I bought piles of nice cool fabric on sale.
