today i completed one of the linen tops. earlier in the week i finished the second linen dress. the dress was started at the beginning of the year but i hadn't fitted the skirt to the top or set the pockets. the first dress had no pockets, i forgot. more dresses and tops are cut out ready to be assembled. i'm following the you tube videos below
i'm a size 14. these are loose fitting clothes. ideal for this hot, hot weather. i wore the dress on wednesday :)
there are many imperfections to these clothes but i've got to start somewhere. success for me is would i feel happy wearing the dress or blouse to the shops? if the answer is yes then that'll do
i've now come to a halt as i've run out of thread. i'll go out later and buy some. no more dressmaking today but i'll pick it up again tomorrow
