Like I mentioned earlier, I was at Joanne’s this morning after my doctor’s appointment.  I walked by and even touched some of the bolts of spring fashion fabric but did not actually stop to handle and drape any of the fabric on myself.

Last year, I made a few summer dresses and even made one for my friend.  The dresses I made were based on two patterns only.   :mrgreen:   I told myself, the patterns worked, and I had success using them!

It is at times like this, that I wished my good friend, Carol was living near by.  She’s the one who sewed most of my clothes when I still lived in Malaysia.  Of course now, I would only ask her for advice on the use of certain patterns, because I would really like to improve my dress sewing skills.

I still have fabric that I bought for summer dresses from two and three summers ago which I never got around to using. No, none of them looks dated because the fabric looks like linen but isn’t and that linen look is still popular this year.

That was why, at Joanne’s today, I had to steel myself and not buy anything which I wasn’t ready use!
