It’s the only way to live/In cars

once again I reflexively reached for the bodice from simplicity 2389 and that BurdaStyle Heidi skirt:

This one is liberty print—a piece of fabric I have had for a long time. I think this pattern is from 2009, but I’m not sure; it could be earlier.

Ironically, it was purging so lots of dresses that finally led me to cut into this long-hoarded fabric … even the fabrics that I loved the most (yeah, checking out you, popsicle print) only gave me a kind of “happy to have known you” feeling as I packed them up to ship them to new wearers.

So with this empirical evidence reassuring me that it is unlikely that I will wish I’d saved some special fabric for some theoretically ‘better’ use*, snip snip went the scissors into this Liberty!

I’ve worn this a couple times so far and it has made me very happy. Beep!

(Oh, and speaking of the dress Purge of 2017 … there are a few dresses left, but August 6 I will be sending whatever hasn’t been purchased off to goodwill and tallying up the totals.)

(*also it looks like this fabric is still available from third-party sellers in a different colorway)
