This is my first summer sewing of 2008! It hit the upper 70s this weekend, which made me realize I either have to alter everything from last Summer, or start sewing new stuff. This is Simplicity 2959: I’d much rather sew new stuff!

Oh that is lovely!
I really like the neckline on that pattern. How challenging would you say this was?
Glad you like it – its actually very easy to make!
Oh, I love it! Good job.
Beautiful! I love the eyelet!
How pretty & spring-like you look!

So adorable!
What’s the sleeve treatment like on that? Does it has a sleeve piece, or is that an extension of the bodice?
I love that pattern. I think i’ve admired it somewhere else before. At any rate, it’s great to see it made up!
Gosh this dress is something!! SO nice!!
This is beautiful! I love that color on you!
Do older patterns have a better fit than new ones?
I really like this dress. Did you line the eyelet fabric? Nice pattern. Neckline is similar to a lot of what I am seeing now.
love that pleated (gathered?) neckline, and the sleeves have a neat, small look.
what a perfect pattern!
Your dress looks great! I think I even have that pattern in my stash!
Super cute! I think I have that pattern too – it’s always nice to see it sewn up!
This pattern looks really flattering! I will have to track it down.
