quite possibly perfect

Okay, so I bought another pattern from ebay seller tarna. I really couldn't resist this one ... could you?

Every summer I end up making the same pattern three or four or five times ... last year it was The Duro; this year it may be this pattern. It just looks so perfect -- the sweetheart neckline and the pockets are exactly right. I don't like the deep vee in the back but I can fix that easily by filling in the top and retracing the facing. This would be so easy to make, and even easier to wear. Throw a cardigan over it (I probably won't make the bolero) and it could go anywhere.

I have this lovely limp grass-green cotton open-weave that this will be stunning in, and some red floral, and some stripey pink seersucker, and maybe this will even be worth of the blue art-deco-y fabric I bought in China. Heck, if it turns out to be The Pattern of Summer 2007 I might even use the green Chaiken cotton satin I bought ages ago and have never been able to bring myself to cut into.

So: prepare yourselves. If this goes well you'll be seeing a lot of it.
