My last summer make is a Tessuti Felicia sleeveless dress in a crinkly check linen; it is pale blue and black in colour. The skirt is a simple rectangle gathered at the waist.

The checks look less off centre on the skirt than it looks on the photo. It wasn't easy to lay it out on the fabric, with such a big pattern.  I made it one whole square shorter in length as it felt too long. I also took in the armholes by 1/2" as they were standing away from my body.
A day without sewing is a day wasted.

Thinking ahead to Autumn, I made a long slip from black knit lining fabric and a polo top ( Itch to Stitch Hepburn) in ice blue viscose jersey.

This can be worn with thick black tights, ankle boots and a cardigan to take me into winter.

It looks lovely with the pale blue polo top, a cosy outfit.

That looks lovely, @Starryfish  !  I love the colours.  I wish I could wear that style of dress, it looks so comfy but as I am so well endowed on top I would just look 20 months' pregnant in one.

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.
