This pattern was an absolute dream to sew. Just picking out the fabrics and then bringing them home to sew with them allowed visions of spring to pop into my head. I couldn’t stop touching the fabric…
Spring bouquets of roses, garden flowers, and meadow flowers, just ready to pick to bring indoors come to mind every time I look at this dress.
Spring is sure to follow me everywhere as I wear this dress to picnics and get-togethers, the grocery store, and while doing other errands, and it will herald the coming of summer to everyone I pass by!
