I love dresses, especially in the summertime. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of dresses to wear personally. I have some issues with my body not fitting off the rack dresses well, and I don't like wearing a sack in pretty colors lol. But I did learn how to sew relatively well in my youth, I watched Project Runway with concerted interest (both admiring and appalled by some of the "fashions" and sewing errors shown on that program), and I do have a few very nice summer dress patterns. That takes me to time issues, or more accurately lack of time issues, since I'm running two online businesses which take the majority of my time.
Today I'm taking a time out and working on a couple of summer dresses for myself. It is April, the weather is wonderful, and I would happily be outside in a pretty summer dress, if only I had a nice one to wear! I have one that's been on the project table for a ridiculous amount of time (I was supposed to wear it to a wedding last year, if that gives you an idea), and it's getting done up to setting the zipper today. (I would set the zipper, but it seems to have run off on me, and I will either have to dedicate some serious time to looking for it or buy another one lol). I also found in my fabric stash some beautiful flowered fabric with peonies on it, one of my dad's favorite flowers before he passed away. I have a couple more fabrics that would look wonderful, but I don't want to get ahead of myself, because I don't know when I'll have the time to take a time out again. Hopefully by this weekend I'll have at least 2 pretty dresses to run around in, wrought from my own hands, tailored to fit my body well, that I can really enjoy. :)
