summer dresses

It has arrived, summer that is. When it unexpectedly hit 90 degrees, I found myself short of summer wear for Miss Augusta Bleu.  Of course.

So when the sky decided to rip open 2 days ago, I headed for the sewing room.  Dust bunnies could wait, girlfriend needed some new clothes. 

Let me tell you, that dress form was an absolute dream to have handy too.

My first try is already too dirty to showcase, Gusty had to wear it right off the machine ya know.  But here is dress #2....

The fabric is a Japanese double gauze that's been curing in my stash for a year.  Or maybe 2 years. lol.  Either way, it was a sewing dream.  Sturdier than I thought and not a wonky, every which way, sort of fabric like a single gauze is.

I made an embroidered house to round it all out. 

One more, complete with sun in my eyes squint....
