Summer Loving

 

It has been a while between patterns, I'm sorry and I have missed you. Time is the thing, never seem to have enough of it.

I thought I'd celebrate summer and here in Australia, it has been record temperatures. Technically still summer here for another week. So enjoy some summer patter ideas, where ever you may be.

Classic 1960's design. I love this retro dress with is sheer fabric over solid and flowing free movement.

I have seen some re-prints in modern patterns copying this very design, but claiming it as their own. Fashion just keeps reviving !
