Pattern Review: Lily Dress and Skirt in Midweight Linen for Summer
Lily dress made with FS Fungi Midweight Linen
I have been looking at the Lily collection of patterns from fabric-store for a while now, but all along I presumed that sewing these pieces would be difficult. I noted in the reviews that some people got stuck on the pocket construction, and I already suspected that the front bracket and sleeves would pose a challenge, however, at this point I would like to interrupt myself as I was wrong on all accounts! I usually tend to lean towards simple patterns for sewing, sans complex details that can be sewn quickly, as with a very active infant, there is no way to find a lot of time for my hobby. Aike many moms, I sew at night when the kids are already asleep.
