Oh My, I would love for spring to come and stay in Chi-town for at least a week. But I guess Chicago weather is what it normally is. We have two seasons: summer and winter. The week before Mother's Day we had temperatures in the 80's. But on Mother's Day is was cold and damp.
This cotton twill has a touch of lycra for easy wearing. It's great for jackets and skirts too.
This was the second time that I used this pattern. I made view A several years ago. It's been so long ago, I had to up the size a bit. For this version (view B), I hand picked the zipper (no beads this time).
I really like this pattern and will probably use it again for the fulls skirt version. It does have options and it is very easy to make.
So I'll have to wait for a bright sunny day to wear my new bold print frock. Summer will be here soon. Wink, wink.
Happy Sewing!
