The men's floral shirt is taking the backseat for awhile. I just got my hands on this pattern from Collette Patterns, and it's freakishly cute and must be started immediately. I have a linen dress I am finishing up now, and then this little number will come next. I'm thinking I will skip the buttons and make the straps non-opening (there is a side zipper) and use possibly 3 different prints/solids for the dress. Daring, I know, but I think it will look very stylish if I can find the right prints in the right weight. Or, I might not do 3 prints at all, but a gingham. Sigh. I will let the fabric gods guide me next time I go out to the fabric shops. Sometimes I feel like a fabric dowser.

I will report back soon. I am super excited to start this project, especially these tiny pockets. Please take a look at all of Sarai's patterns, they are swell—that skirt might be next.
