Here’s what I was sporting this Easter in the SEVENTY-TWO DEGREE weather! It’s Butterick 6582, a vintage reproduction pattern. The linen-look fabric was snapped up at Jo-Ann’s with a Christmas gift card back in January (many thanks to Zachary’s grandmother for that). The sash was just something I threw together in lieu of a self-fabric belt.
It was a beautiful day in all ways: weather, music, message, baptisms, and friends old and new joining the church.
My photographers didn’t get the bottom to show the length, but pretty close. This is my handsome husband/pastor.
But don’t despair, Michiganders, because Easter is supposed to be 50 degrees and sunny (well, for us Trolls, anyway…you Yoopers can despair all you like because I’m pretty sure you won’t have any daffodils yet).
You didn’t know I sew? Don’t feel bad. I just remembered myself.
Ten days and no posts? Unheard of. So you know I’m busy. I’m busy with work, spring break, editing, writing. And I’m busy making a new dress for Easter. It’s going to be big.
Big skirt. Big flowers. Big color.
And it’s kind of a big deal to me since it’s been two years since I made a new Easter dress (last year I wore one I’d made previously for no particular occasion).
But break’s over. Time to get busy.
