The Last Rose of Summer/Fall

Okay, so it isn’t Summer anymore, which was made abundantly clear this weekend with the time change.  But it doesn't quite feel like Fall, either (until the sun goes down, that is).

I am not a huge fan of diminishing daylight hours.  Which reminds me . . . I really have to do something about the light (or lack thereof) in my sewing room or my creative productivity is going to be seriously lacking for the next few months.

But I did manage to wear this dress on a lovely warm day not too long ago.  The weather today was gorgeous, as well, although driving home from work in the dark makes it feel like the dead of winter.

But a lovely crisp cotton is hard to resist, whether or not it is weather appropriate.

And while I promised myself that this dress was going to be the last cotton garment I make for a few months, my current project is also using the fiber.  In my defense, it is a velveteen, and therefore winter appropriate.

And that is my second Georgia dress.  Perhaps one of these days I will actually make it up as designed, straps and all!
