Springtime Sewing
For the HSF Fairytale challenge I decided on making a green dress and pretending I'm a 1942 female Robin Hood. Makes total sense, right? I'm using a 1942 shirtdress pattern (McCall 4859) and got it cut out the other day and started sewing today. The fabric is a light green linen that I bought from Sewaholic when I was in Boston last year. It's a great colour for spring/summer and since the weather finally got to just above freezing in the past couple days (feels positively balmy after the polar vortex we've had to deal with) I'm feeling pretty happy about it. Less happy is the fact that when I was snipping thread tails off the darted sleeve caps I caught the sleeve with the point of my scissors and made a hole. Luckily I still have a good amount of fabric left over and can cut out a new sleeve, but such a hassle. Oh well.
