It makes me really happy to say that I finished my first summer sewing project. It has been quite a while since I made something for myself, so I'm pretty pleased with my new lounge dress. Don't get me wrong, it has a few flaws, but who the heck cares, it fits well and it's super comfortable. I used a Built by Wendy pattern, which was trickier than I remember from past projects -- I had a little trouble with the inset due to my rusty sewing skills. Either way, the dress is done and I'm back to sewing stuff, which feels really good. More projects are on the horizon.
In other news, I've decided to start a weekly photo assignment called Daily Ritual. I will be posting a photo and some words (or not) on Wednesdays every week for a while (who knows how long). There are no rules -- I'm simply using this assignment to slow down and take a closer look at all of the little moments that take place throughout my day. I plan to create a flickr group (done.) for people interested in participating. Tomorrow is Wednesday, but I think I'm going to give it another week before starting. After all, I have some lounging in my new dress to do.
Be well,
L.
