Boy oh boy, it’s been hot! I made myself something nice and cool to wear, so I could put on something besides a t-shirt. I love this fabric, it’s so nice and light and cool. I found it on sale a bit ago at my local Beverly’s. I think I spent about $12 for it. I also decided to try out my bias tape maker, and used that for the hem. The pattern is Simplicity 3887. I think I may make another one or two, if this heat keeps up!

  7. Sweet fabric, but I think the pattern company “Simplicity” is an oxymoron. I find very little that is simple about them. They are more like Greek to me!!!
