I have no idea why it is that such popular colors/fabrics are so often difficult to find for home sewers -- some friends and I were lamenting last year that it seemed to be *impossible* to find red denim, or even white to dye it!

I really want the merchant mills shirt dress pattern - http://merchantandmills.com/products/products/2-the-dress-shirt-pattern<br /><br />but think it will be too advanced, and take more fabric than I have.

I am ok at sewing, but need much more practice to get anywhere near to the level of patterns you can handle. ;-?<br /><br />If you think of anything in the patterns you have seen lately, please let me know!Lindahttp://fromthepurlside.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-2342929198668594452013-04-12T17:10:29.919-05:002013-04-12T17:10:29.919-05:00I love that candy apple green!
