OOH this is funny! OMG 50F, and we would be wearing shorts, but that is what happens when you literally have the coldest February on record. The other day we broke 32 for the first time in more than 30 days. Kids outside without hats and gloves like it was a party!

As for the dressing… 50-60F may be cool to mcholley1, but there can be a…[Read more]

Happy birthday to Tilly.
I was sewing Playdate yesterday too, but mine was a more mundane production line of five pair of leggings.

Perhaps you need an awesome trench coat in a fresh spring-like colour and put any old thing underneath cause you won’t be taking it off. With a fullish skirt (like the Secret Agent view B) a trench is sort of a dress anyway.
