It will definitely be my go to summer dress.<br />I just finished the top from 1247 and will make the skirt next. The top is very comfortable and very roomy. Can't wait to get working on the skirt with 4 inches added to the length of course. A 15" is way toooooo short for my taste.<br />Good luck with all your new patterns.

They arrived in a timely manner, and I have looked and looked at them many times, just thinking, "It's mine, It's mine!!!" <br /><br />I was also lucky enough to win a piece of Liberty fabric a few weeks ago :) Showed it to my husband who asked me what I was going to make with it.<br /><br />"MAKE?" I cried, "MAKE? I'm just going to pet it and love it first. The honeymoon has just started, there is NO making!!!!" someday, but not this week!!!

All these were patterns that caught my eye and then I thought I am too large, middle-aged etc to make them, but the blog links you gave opened my eyes.
