In a rather unoriginal move, I completely copied a dress I liked on Pinterest. It's this one. I couldn't find it for sale, so I made it myself. It took a really long time, because I didn't have a pattern – I realised how much more i enjoy sewing with a pattern.
Because there are quite a few internal seams and the dress is not lined, I had to resurrect my old overlocker which had been languishing in a cupboard for some time. Most of the making-time was spent cleaning and re-threading it – a task not unlike solving a Rubik's Cube.
But it was a good challenge, and I'm happy with my new summer frock. It's nice and loose with big side pockets. The fabric is a textured white linen/cotton with black lines.
Also, it's chamomile season. I picked these to make tea, but then decided they were better appreciated on the kitchen table.
