Yet again we were forecast a hot summer so I made my eldest a new dress for those hot, hot days.
I made the Catalina last year so it was a case of measuring and checking the fit from last year and making a few adjustments:

Again I used Seasalt voile it’s delightful to work with and really comfortable to wear.

All that needed doing at the start of the quarter was to decide on the length of the dress and then stitch the hem. I used a twin needle to hem it to give it a more decorative look.

Another finished item to tick off the list and to link up.
