I needed something easy to sew after my last project (coming soon). This took about seven hours sewing time. I didn't realize the pattern had drop shoulders and using the flat method of sewing in sleeves would have worked better. 

This is about the most form fitting dress that I am still comfortable wearing. It's made from a really nice ponte from Vogue Fabrics , when we used to have the sewing Expo in Minneapolis. If I were to make this again I would like to do something different with the sleeves and just shorten the tucks a wee bit in the skirt.

Hope everybody is staying well and enjoying sewing and other hobbies. Spring may be coming to Minneapolis, it will be nice to be outside cleaning up the garden beds once things dry out. Our house has cedar siding, so every year I need to do touch up painting (yuck), hope I can get some paint mixed up! Since I'm a home-body this hasn't been too much of a change for me. I do miss sports, Final Four, Figure Skating, Baseball, Tennis and the Olympics. I also miss going out to eat or going to a brewery. My husband is outgoing so he is having a harder time with things, even though he is still working. It's kind of interesting in that if you are a shy person working in corporate America you were the one to have to conform and become more outgoing, maybe people will be more sensitive to different personalities and the strengths each bring to the table...maybe not, oh well we shall see!
