Summer dresses

As fall approaches in other parts of the country, California start to experience it’s real hot summer. Time for summer sewing.P1110138I’ve had this fabric in my stash for a while, light blue quilting cotton.  If I look a little wilted here, it’s because I decided to take these photos when it was over 100 degrees outside.P1110131Well there was a tiny breeze, as seen in my hair.P1110136This picture is a little grainy, cuz I cut it way down, but I hope you can see my design elements, piping both the front bands and the armholes.  P1110139A better view of the armhole.  P1110178This is a lovely light weight lawn fabric I picked up at L&M, my mistake, only buying two yards! Not enough for a dress, well, I did manage to eek out a dress, which is adorable and comfortable, but it wasn’t easy.P1110146Once again the piping along the neck line and armholes.  I would have liked this to be just a tad longer.P1110151Not that it looks bad at this length, its’ just a question of comfort.P1110171As in, I have to be careful when I sit.
