Hello!
I just wanted to share my most recent sewing project. I used Simplicity’s 6459 from 1966. I made the dress in vintage teal and black polka dotted linen that I got at an estate sale awhile back.
The dress only took me about 4 hours and I absolutely loved the outcome!

That is super cute. I love the fabric.
Thank you!
I adore the fabric and it's really a pretty dress.
Beautiful i love it.
I love the lines of this dress! And it looks great in that polka dot fabric. Good choice!
(I, too, had planned on it being summer sewing extravaganza, but…)
