This one is made from a nice, soft faux ikat cotton jersey I ordered from Girl Charlee pretty much immediately after telling myself I wouldn't be making any more maxis. This one is my favorite of the bunch, even though that brown circle ended up right over my solar plexus. I did twin needle stitching in hot pink around all the bindings. Of course, I didn't take a picture of that. These pix were snapped as I was getting ready to leave for the airport to go pick up Hubby and Niecey-poo. It was super hot that day, but I knew I'd need the shrug inside the airport.
I have one more maxi you haven't seen yet, and my co-blog project with Alicia to show you when I get back. There's even some new knitting! I'm hoping that in a week or so, my nose won't be so red!
love this one, it's definitely my favorite! i'm pretty sure i spied that fabric too... get to feeling better and have fun with your neice!
ReplyDeleteYou look simply gorgeous in this maxi dress! Get better quickly!
ReplyDeleteOh so pretty!
ReplyDeleteBe well!
I love this one! You had the flu? Too bad, get better soon.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I really, really like it! Feel better soon!!
ReplyDeleteThis would be my favorite, too!
ReplyDeleteSweet! What a beautiful colour. Enjoy your blog break :)
ReplyDeleteMaxi dresses are my favorite fashion item of this spring/summer, but never in stores have I seen one that stunning! Fantastic work, Gail! I hope you (and your poor computer) are feeling better soon! I hope you have loads of fun during the visit!
ReplyDeleteI was beyond upset when my computer died last year. It got me through grad school and I had grown very attached to it. I tried to be more financially responsible (read: cheap) with my replacement and I totally regret it. I'll be getting another Mac when this one bites it.
ReplyDeleteYour dress is beautiful! I hope you are able to rest and feel better so that you may enjoy your time with your niece. Aren't you having more family in soon as well? I might be thinking of a different visit.
Wow, what an amazing memory! I'm kind of jealous! Yes, my niece's parents and sister will be joining us in mid-August for a couple weeks. Quite a houseful for a little urban townhouse!
DeleteYeah, I can't even imagine the cost in frustration if I were to get anything non-Mac. It's been so many years since I've used anything else, I'd have to learn everything all over again!
Thank you for the compliments and well-wishes, everybody! I really appreciate them!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous fabric! I hope you have a great week with some R&R!
ReplyDeleteNow this is SWEET !!!!! and I'm not talking sugary sweet.
ReplyDeleteThis is THE BEST YET !!!!!
the shrug is a great cover-up for these a/c'd buildings.
