The Year of the (Sleeveless) Dress

Last year turned out to be very unpredictable, which made it difficult to get much sewing done. This year, things should be different because

1. our hospital switched to a different scheduling system so my sewing time should be much more predictable,
2. I have learned to sew in small chunks, say 30-60 minutes, instead of waiting to have a whole day to sew, and
   
3. I am learning (slow process, mind you) to let go of my perfectionist tendencies which often hinder my creativity.

I plan to add a few many dresses to my wardrobe this year because that's what I like to wear the most. Sleeveless sheath dresses have proven to be the most versatile and most-often worn pieces in my wardrobe (together with knit cardigans, but I buy those) so I will focus on sewing more of them, both from my TNT pattern and Butterick 5314.



I love the graceful collared necklines of views A and B, and the waistline seam will be useful for pattern-morphing later. View B is currently half-sewn. I plan to finish it tomorrow.
