thinking of next summer already

At the height of summer's heat, I found myself longing for a slip of a dress (or two) to just throw over my head and be cool. I purchased fabric for two dresses, but couldn't get to them in time. Still, I don't want to leave them until next year. I just finished one, an orange gingham


and the other is a chambray with an all-over white floral. They will be so nice when the time comes!

  1. You inspire me with your sewing. I've made a few similar pinafore dresses (I think you call them jumpers over there) in the past, and like you I use bias binding...and love it!

  2. How sensible to make them now! You'll be so grateful you did on the first hot day next summer. I have a couple of simple slip-on dresses made of cotton. Heaven!

  3. It's so much fun to make your own clothes! I have the desire to make another skirt soon. Thank you for the visit and comment!

  4. New frocks for next summer all ready to go! I want to do this, too, with my fabric I bought in India. We'll see...
