i sewed an array of little frocks to wear in the south of france. i leave in TWO days and am so ready to be there. i have had an extremely busy few months. but my BOOK is just about finished. i will be reviewing the final galleys while i’m in france. so exciting. you can follow along on my trip on instagram or facebook.

i have big plans for these beautiful fabrics. i’m making my summer wardrobe for france + vermont. i am fully consumed with my new uniform . . . i can’t stop making these simple a-line dresses (i’ve made 20 so far).

when my husband leaves for work, i secretly turn our kitchen table into a sweatshop.
(ssshhhhhhhhhhhhh . . . he’ll never know.)

well . . . maybe more like 20. yesterday my sister and i took this amazing dress making class from the lovely SONYA PHILIP (she is the girl who made 100 dresses last year) . . .  SO. INSPIRING. i’ve always loved the idea of wearing a uniform. it would make my life so much easier. my favorite dress that i own is a simple a-line dress from THEORY that i’ve worn (and still wear) for almost 10 years. i had always intended to find a seamstress to make me 10 more of said dress, but you know how THAT goes . . . never happened. coincidentally, the dress that i made yesterday (in 3 hours) is almost IDENTICAL to it. meet my new uniform.
