I&#8217;m in the middle of drafting the fall Liesl + Co. patterns, and that always involves lots of sample sewing. But I&#8217;ve also been trying to find time to sew for myself on the weekends. S needs all sorts of clothes since she&#8217;s grown a tremendous amount this year, and I need a long <a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/liesl-and-co-patterns\/OLV-LC010CI.html\">Cinema Dress<\/a> for a trip to Morocco with my sister in June. (My black linen Cinema Dress may be the wrong color for Morocco in June&#8230;.) I&#8217;ve also found that no matter how busy I am, I need to sew for fun. Even when I&#8217;m sewing for work! This month I&#8217;ve been sewing up some of the fabric I brought back from London. I hope you&#8217;ve been making a few things for yourself here and there as well!<\/p>\n<p>Are you having fun with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/oliverands\/\" target=\"_blank\">Me Made May<\/a>?
