simple summer dress

This dress is just what I wanted to make but I didn’t even know it.  It’s really more of a frock than a dress, I like the fluidity of it…it’s delicate yet the perfect thing to wear on a summer day in which you find yourself running through a grassy field barefoot.

Molly is a bit of a twig and is kind of lost in it, I think I will have to add some elastic along the shoulders and bodice top.  And truthfully I think the pattern recommended this but the directions were in French. I kept making up my own translations that usually ended with a très bien! 

Hopefully there will be more of these in the near future, as I think I am in love with these patterns.  The groovy kind of love that makes you whistle and sing even while doing housework.  The patterns are from Citronille. The one above is here and  I have this one and this one  sitting here within the reach of my ever loving heart.

We had a realtor here yesterday who saw my sewing stuff and  immediately we spoke rapidly of sewing and sewing stuff then we would talk a little about the house then more rapid sewing talk.  I never meet people like that, it was like finding a  long lost relative.  I wanted to hug her when she left, but I refrained.  

It’s Sunday and a beautiful one at that, I hope the sun is shining in your heart, mes amis…
