There are any number of patterns in print for such a slip. If you get wildly ambitious, make the slips in different colors, which will affect how the translucent overdress looks. (I can freely suggest this as I am not the one faced with making multiple bias garments, tra la.) Nothing beats the comfort of a lightweight lawn dress in the hottest days of summer.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14278139941024598595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-67927849285921833192014-07-30T16:32:37.797+01:002014-07-30T16:32:37.797+01:00I used something very like this lovely (French blu...I used something very like this lovely (French blue? Wedgewood blue?) linen/cotton blend to make some very full slacks and a jacket-worn-as blouse; and had enough scraps to eke out a lining for a vest/waistcoat. This fabric is a lot like chambray except that warp and weft threads are the same color.) It looks to behave like chambray, came out of the wash beautifully, is soft and delightful to wear.

I only learnt to sew when my son started school (when he was four) and that's the only time I sew now. Having a child with special needs is very challenging, especially when they're young, but it really DOES get easier once they're older and able to do more for themselves. Starting school was life changing for our family - my son has made amazing progress since then and his speech has improved dramatically. I'm sure it will be a similar story once your son starts school too. You'll also get more time for yourself, and for your sewing. I do understand how precious sewing time is - that's what keeps me sane! Best of luck to you, it WILL get easier. xxxJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06618367450900385828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-89359684964698999082014-07-29T16:13:13.307+01:002014-07-29T16:13:13.307+01:00I love this dress, it's perfect in every way! ...I love this dress, it's perfect in every way!

For the moment, I don't have time to sew because of my little child who has the same difficulties than your son. He is 3 years old. I don't understand how find time to sew and I am desperate for that !!! Thanks for your blog ! He give me hope the things go better in few years.
