How is yours coming along? I&#8217;ve finished my dress, and I&#8217;ll show it to you next Monday. I&#8217;ve already worn it twice and it&#8217;s going to be great for this summer, especially when we&#8217;re back in hot, humid NYC in a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Summer vacation has officially started here in Madrid, and S couldn&#8217;t be more excited. We celebrated her first day of freedom with a bubble tea, and now she&#8217;s busy making no plans at all for a few days. Meanwhile, I&#8217;m busy sewing the fall patterns and doing all the problem-solving that&#8217;s always involved in each new design. I&#8217;m really excited about these new styles! Can&#8217;t wait to show you. I found this fabric for really cheap, so it&#8217;s becoming my wear-testing version of one of the styles.
