Last week I worked on this pretty coral dress and finished it Sunday afternoon. I'm considering wearing it for the Grand Regency Costumed Promenade, along with an open robe I made last year from a sari a friend brought me from India.
But then there's this pretty flowered material that I cut out today! I'll be working on this day dress this week and am adding a couple extra touches to it, inspired by Jennifer Ehle's Elizabeth Bennett.
In addition to dress-making, I've been making caramels to sell to friends to earn some spending money. Sales are going well so far---they're always a hit! Here's a link if you'd like to order: Caramels from my Etsy shop.
Hope everyone is having a beautiful week! Thanks for stopping by The Homemaking Party!
Thanks so much for hosting!

Sarah, your dress is perfect! If only I could go, I'd want you to make one just like it (love coral!) for me. Can't wait to hear all about it. Thank you for hosting.
ReplyDeleteYou are so sweet to share this link up each week. I think your caramels look delicious, and what a nice presentation! I'll bet you look lovely in your dress. Won't you dress up for us and show and tell? What a blessed privilege to go to England again. I'm truly happy for you!
ReplyDeleteBe blessed my blog friend, perhaps one day we will arrange a meeting.

ReplyDeleteI am domestically challenged (so I won't be linking up very much) but wanted to let you know I enjoyed your post. Wonderful dress and my mouth is watering looking at those caramels!
ReplyDeleteAlso just wanted to say I feel a lot better about the upcoming election this year having seen that graphic in your sidebar. I even pinned it. :O)
Yum. Your caramels look delicious. Thanks for the party. Best wishes, Darlene
