This always happens to me this time of year. When the crocus and daffodil begin to bloom, my desire to sew spring and summer clothes blossoms right along with them. I am driven to purchase floaty cottons and airy linens in scrumptious colours and prints. I am compelled to daydream of kicky little skirts with matching tops, adorable sundresses, comfortable capris and city shorts. This year, of course, is no exception.
While at Fabricland the other day, I spotted these woven cotton fabrics - most of them are voile, which I love for warm weather - it is so light and it breathes so nicely. The prints will become skirts and the solids will become coordinating tops.
While browsing Wazoodle a few days later, I spotted these beautiful quilting cottons, also slated to become skirts.
I also need to make T-shirts and I just happen to have knits, that coordinate with the fabrics above, in my stash (imagine that - I guess having close to 650 m of fabric pays off sometimes **rolls eyes**). These fabrics are next on the docket after I finish SWAP sewing. I only have one more dress to complete and then I am done. Wish me luck!

Ohmygosh do we think alike! Only I am thinking dresses...last night when I should have been sewing, I was pulling dress patterns to make spring dresses from...only a dress and a top to go and I can sew spring too!
Love, love, love the fabrics you found. I'm with you on great kicky summer skirts. I wish my brick & mortar stores had stuff like that!!! g
Wishing you luck :)
And now also looking forward to seeing your skirts and t's!
