It's been raining here all day and it's cold & damp. The weather is predicted to be that way all week so I won't really feel like wearing light summery dresses although light & summery dresses are all I want to sew. I'm just that sewist who likes to make garments that I can wear the next day. Which always makes sewing out of season a pain...
I did finish a version of one of my Adri patterns with a twist of my own. However, the weather is so icky that there were no pictures this weekend. Hopefully some next weekend...though next weekend is Mother's Day weekend so who knows?

Also, I decided that I just didn't like the sleeves on my last ponte dress so I removed them. The dress wears better with a cardigan without sleeves so they had to go.
I've also been on a tear to find inspiration for a denim dress. I have a piece of lightweight denim set aside to make a shirtdress but I'm not ready to make it now. I really want a denim shift dress that I can wear on these cooler spring days.
Here are some of the inspiration pics I found on Pinterest ~

So I've pulled some denim remnants from the collection to work on a denim dress. This is what's on my cutting table right now.
I hope you had a more productive weekend than I did and since next weekend is Mother's Day, I'm not sure how much sewing I will get done. Then again you never know!
...as always more later!

This silhouette is similar to the Sewn Go Anywhere Dress
