I haven’t sewn a lot this winter, I made some attempts that didn’t work out. I like summer dresses, skirts and tops, so since winter has effectively left us – time to sew a summer dress.
I bought this lovely Japanese fabric at Momen+, I can’t believe this amazing store doesn’t have a website.
At first I thought I’d make a shirt, but I had enough fabric for this dress
I need to style myself better from the back when I take pictures. It does have a pocket which is very nice.
I like the fact that these days I can insert a collar professionally.
As well as insert a sleeve. For years I didn’t understand that easing fabric wasn’t gathering fabric. I had to take a private lesson to learn that.
Aren’t these buttons adorable??? I don’t remember where I bought them, but they are so perfect for this dress.
Yes, I can sit comfortably – which is very important in a dress.
You may have noticed that I wore this on my birthday, wore it all day and night and it was a delight. I have more fabrics and patterns, I need to get to work.

beautiful dress!! fabric, color, pattern choice, everything is aces. (and yeah, back shots are the worst. WHERE IS OUR TEAM OF STYLISTS?!)
happy belated, lovely leah!
Thanks for the wishes, you at least have a photographer, me I do it on my own, so no way is anyone volunteering to be my stylist.
Happy belated birthday. Gorgeous dress with very professional construction. Did you get the Momen email about their upcoming sale?
Thank you so much! Birthday was fabulous. Yes I did get the notice about the sale, which I am ignoring this time, I spent a lot of money at Quiltcon…..
