I decided it was time for a blog spring cleaning so I painted the walls a fresh, crisp white and changed my header that better reflects the new season. Hope you like it!
As I've been pulling out my summer wardrobe I noticed one of my favourite pieces is on its last legs. I am referring to the item you see in these photos, also known as my house dress. I found her years ago at a consignment shop. What better piece to throw on when lounging at home than a simple shift dress that's airy and light. The first image shows her 3 years ago when she was showing the first signs of age. The second, taken yesterday, is sadly what remains of her. I couldn't model it for you, as you can see, it would expose parts of me that would make this blog x-rated. I'm feeling a bit conflicted b/c since this is, in my mind, the perfect house dress, I don't want to go out and look for another, but I'm just not sure she can be resurrected to her former glory. My sewing machine and I do not get along, so I thought I would ask any of you reading this who have "stitching fingers" if you think my house dress can be salvaged. Until then I'll be crossing my fingers.

What you could do is deconstruct it and use it as a pattern (or have someone else use it as a pattern) to make you an infinity of house dresses, almost as good as the original.
Yes, good idea! Also have a variety of fun fabric patterns like the original. When do you want to get started? ;)
