After my last sewing session I thought I was done. But it was a hot day. And I was wearing shorts. And I was starting to feel like maybe having my legs out all summer would be a nice thing. I used to wear skirts constantly (remember that?). And then somewhere along the line, I started feeling like shaving my legs was too much work, and none of my t-shirts looked good with my skirts, and blah blah blah. I’ve spent the last several summers pretty much living in jeans, except on the really, really hot days where I just can’t take it anymore. I still think shaving my legs is a royal pain in the neck, but I can probably be convinced to go above the knee maybe once a week, and put on something nice 😁

Anyway, I dug through my vintage sheet stash and found two things that grabbed me right away: a set of pillowcases that were in excellent shape and had a bold mod floral design, and a green 60s/70s era sheet that was still in the package.

How about something frivolous and lovely? How about a little sewing show-and-tell? I put my self-made sheath pattern to work again, and made a shirt, and a dress. The dress has pockets! Come see.
