Well into a week of July shows that I'm somewhat late in showing off my summer sparkle. I have to say it was so very hard completing a linen summer number when all we have had is rain and cold. I had so many plans for summery clothes and it seems that I only needed the one, which is great as it fits in nicely with the project.So here we are wearing New Look easy 6095. I chose a linen with a really pretty little blue flower.
Over all I'm really pleased, like every good bit of linen it shows every crease, but I don't mind I feel comfortable, and like the look with a little cardi too. I worked carefully to do all the right things like hand sew the facings down . Here are a few extra shots from our little walk along Tiverton canal, a very peaceful and beautiful place.
Looking gorgeous
ReplyDeleteCharlotte, I love your dress.Looks fantastic on you.. I too like linen fabric, so comfortable and cool to wear. It does wrinkle bad.. THe pattern is really cute.
ReplyDeleteSorry you are still having winter temps.. We are burning up and needing rain desperatly. Wish I could send some heat your way.
Oooh liking your dress, I think you may have just shared my very first ever dress sewing project. I'm going to look it up tomorrow. Many thanks Charlotte. Have you any idea why I can only see 2 of your images, the others are just colourful horizontal lines?? smiles Cass
