Every summer, it seems, I get the urge to drag out the sewing machine and make myself a couple of tops or dresses. This year the Barefoot Summer Sheath Dress is back. At some point in the next few days, I would like to set up a back yard photo shoot and show you properly what I’ve been working on. But for now, this will have to do!
So, what is This Week in Pictures?
It’s a roundup of the microblogging I’ve done on Flickr and Instagram all week. This includes photos I shot for Project 365 and any other extra images I may have posted.
Photos taken with 📷 (Canon EOS 80D) or 📱 (Samsung Galaxy S7).
Ready? Cast your mind back to this time last week…
Saturday




I spent a lot of time on one computer or another today, so now I’m unwinding and going analog for a while.
Sunday


My oldest nephew lives 800 miles away, but he’s visiting this week. It was our first opportunity to get a picture of all five of my parents’ grandchildren together. There’s a 15-year age gap between the youngest boy and the only girl, so it’s basically four men and a baby ☺
Story for Sunday
Monday


Rainy day heart
Tuesday


Our baby birds are all grown up. Just a few minutes after I took this photo, this one took flight.
Wednesday


After a rough few minues where I couldn’t remember how to wind the bobbin, I finally got started sewing a summer dress for myself.
Thursday


Another rainy day at the office.


Friday


So, this is the dress I sewed this week. There was some ripping out, rethinking, and resewing, but I am happy with the end result. And I have this dingy, dirty-mirror bathroom selfie to prove it.
Thanks for taking a peek at this week’s photos! If you want to see this stuff as it happens, please feel free to follow me on Flickr or Instagram ♥
