Lily II Finished

In time for the warm weather forecast to return this week, my second Lily dress is finished:

I left the hem tucks off because I used narrower fabric, which meant the whole dress is narrower at the hem. Compare this with my original version here.

Instead of hem tucks, I put them on the shoulders

and matching ones on the pockets.

I'm ready for some more hot weather.

Quiet Afternoon

Spent a lovely afternoon alone in my sewing room. I made a list of projects I want to make, then started this skirt from Burda, July 1971.

Managed to get most of it done; just the waistband facing and the hem to finish.

Remodel Complete

Today I finished remodelling this skirt. I bought it because I loved the fabric, but it had a very strangely-shaped waistband and yoke. I took off the waistband, reshaped it and the yoke, and replaced the zip which had been put in poorly.

Now I just need the warm weather to come back again.

Skirt

Finished the skirt I was sewing at Sewjourn.

It hangs straighter on me than it was hanging on the line.
