Sewing for Skirting The Issue

Flowy Summer Dress for Me!

As sewing for Momo has slowed down, I wanted to sew something for myself.  But the brutal summer heat is getting to me, so I wanted something easy to sew and wear.

Momo's new dress...Poppy Summer Dress!

I am sewing less these days.   Main reason is the lack of time...work and everyday life consume my time, and there isn't much left for mommy's hobby time.   Another reason is that Momo doesn't wear dresses as often as used to.  She prefers to wear T-shirt and jeggings during the week, and I buy those at stores as they are cheaper to buy and I don't really have desires to sew them.    And since Momo is growing slowly, her clothes sometimes last 2 or 3 years...so we are not in a need of new dresses.  But recently I got rid of several of her dresses, as some have gotten too short and some she rarely wore.  Summer break will start in few weeks and I had sewing itches, so it was time to sew a new summer dress!

Butterfly Dress for Little Momo

Project Run and Play's week 3 theme is "Boho Chic."  My thought when I read the announcement was...hippie!  But then it needs to be "chic" too.  It did not take long for me to think of what to sew. I had this fabric and the pattern I wanted to try with it for some time, and thought this could be seen as Boho Chic.
