Palmer Shirtdress in Lumiere

Did I just make the perfect dress for transitioning from summer to fall? 

Charlie Caftan and Willow Wrap Belt = Ancient Greek Dress

My niece had a request for a sewing project: an ancient Greek dress. And you know I like to indulge her requests (see this velvet and sequined cloak and this harlequin dress based on one of her drawings.)

One of her more recent special interests is Greek mythology... I think her entry point was the musical Epic. At a recent family camping trip she regaled us with tales of the labors of Hercules and the journey of Odysseus. She's particularly fascinated by the concept of sirens. 

Pocho Birthday Dress

 I made a cheerful birthday dress for myself from a much-loved fabric from my stash!

From Sketch to Reality: Harlequin Dress

I look forward to receiving my "Aunt of the Year" award; I've been composing my acceptance speech since finishing this project!

Roberts Wood Drafter's Grid Dress

 Finally finished this dress and am so pleased with it! It's big, it's bright, it's twirly! 

It was a beast of a project and I have things to say about it!

Palmer Shirt Dress in Kale Linen

Another premature project...

Caramel Apple Hope Dress

 Vermont fooled me again. 

Crinkle Cotton Slub Sydney Designer Dress- Again

 Another late summer sewing project, and it's a major winner for me.

Floral Frocktails Nicks Dress

Frocktails fun!

Elbe Textiles Homme Wrap Dress

 One more summer dress before summer ends...

Plaid Linen Cuff Dress

Playing with plaid over here...

Testing, testing: Cris Wood Sews Glow Dress

Feeling floaty and fancy in this dress. With a hint of a summer glow, perhaps?

Viscose Linen Noil Fringe Dress

Feeling springy over here! Flowers are coming up and legs are bare again. We’ll probably have snow again next week, but I’m taking advantage of these opportunities. 

Double Gauze Style Arc Hope Dress

Bandwagon alert! I finally broke down and made the Style Arc Hope Woven Dress that everyone's been making...

Coordinating Charlie Caftans

I've indoctrinated a few more members into the Caftan Cult this summer!

Helena Wrap Dress

My wrap dress extravaganza (or wrapstravaganza for short!) continues with a recently/perfectly timed wrap dress pattern release!

Plaid Linen Roseclair Dress

Wrapstravaganza: can't stop, won't stop.

Green Floral Elodie Wrap Dress

Woven wrapstravaganza, part two! See my last post for part one.

Seamwork Benning Dress

Between this dress and my Mave skirt, I think I've done more gathering in the last month than I have my entire sewing career!

Caftan Crew: Envelope Dress x 2

I saw my family for the first time in many months over the 4th of July holiday... I knew that there would have to be some sort of caftan and cocktail celebration, so I set about making it happen!
