I haven't worked on my WWII dress. Next weekend I will--I've promised myself.....and I plan to shop for fabric this week.
The blue linen is finished, and I'm wearing it as I type. I'll try to get a photo up soon. This was one of my "side-track" projects due to the oppressive heat here in the metroplex area of Texas. We are hoping for "just double digits -- as in 99 degrees" tomorrow. Today, we are to expect another over 100 degree day. Ugh!!!
Anyhow, the story on the blue linen. Got the linen for $6 a yard earlier this summer. Then I found a Butterick pattern at a thrift store for twenty five cents. It's basically a shift pattern with pockets. When I saw the pattern (and what a deal) I immediately thought of the blue linen and "cool." So, I sewed most of yesterday afternoon while washing clothes.
I'm happy with the results of this "side track project" and I think I'm going to really enjoy it for the rest of the summer--and summer here can last through the end of October!
P.S. I am looking at vintage patterns again on E-bay and have a couple of bids going on some other WWII patterns!
