The Summer's Sewing

There are probably (maybe) 3 of you who've wondered what my sewing machines have been doing this summer. Well, It's actually been a sort of productive summer, although my posting wouldn't indicate such. In April, there was the green Daisy Lace Dress and a sundress from the same fabric. Then came the yellow gauze Claire Dress and a yellow gauze sundress. Following that was a white eyelet Daisy Lace dress and two different white eyelet sundresses. From there, I lusted after red. The red silk chiffon dressing gown and dress, and then...

A red sun dress (princess seamed):
A red long sleeved top (textured knit):Red short sleeved top with fluffy sleeves (same textured knit):
Red Paisley silk chiffon Claire Dress (which I've never worn, because I haven't found a belt I like for it):
Red paisley silk chiffon sun dress (chiffon hangs so funny, maybe I should have taken these pictures flat):
Red paisley silk chiffon skirt (unlined, with beige satin slip under):
Then came the greens. You all saw the camoflage dress in July. Then came the kelly greens: A camisole:
Short sleeved top:
Princess seamed sun dress:
Short sleeved dress (not yet worn: I'd sort of forgotten it until I took these pictures):
And the hunter greens: A camisole:
And an A-line sun dress:
Then on to the pinks: A dusty rose a-line sundress:
A dusty rose short sleeved top:
A dusty rose long sleeved princess seamed dress (waiting for autumn):
And the hot pinks: A hot pink ballet top (copied from a top I bought in 1988, and loved, that shrunk too much for me to wear after a while; I've made about 6):
A hot pink long sleeved top:
A hot pink princess seamed sun dress (this one has seen a lot of wear in the last 6 weeks, since it came out of the machine; I love this color):
I'm in the middle of a light pink daisy lace dress, but have been stalled about 3 weeks. Maybe next weekend I'll get it done. Then I think maybe I'll make a couple of pink velour princess seamed dresses, before changing my serger's thread color. Yes, the evil serger threading keeps me sewing in color families. I'm thinking of moving to blue after the pink, maybe even avoiding the velour for the time (why tink of cold weather yet?), and maybe even making a long sleeved dress in the camoflage material, with some yellow accents. Sadly, another summer fades before me. School begins for the little boys on Wednesday, as it does for some of your children, too (and I know that some of you have already sent your kids back or begun teaching again). Hope you've all had a nice Labor Day weekend. Back to the real world tomorrow!
