The UPS guy arrived the other day with a lovely, squishy package for me – fabric!  Six yards of it, as a matter of fact.

These will be made up into spring dresses for me.  Looking at the photo on fabric.com made me a little concerned about the scale of the dots on the red fabric.  If they were too big, I might end up looking like Betty Rubble, lol.

I’m going to use Simplicity 4014.  I love the princess seams and the nice flair at the bottom of the skirt.  I still haven’t decided if I’m going to make them sleeveless or not.  I’m thinking about using a flutter sleeve pattern I have elsewhere.  Hmmmm . . .

Just need to find a nice raspberry wool or silk for the jacket to go with the floral.  Maybe a green, too.
