Made by a Fabricista: Cafe au Lait Linen Dress

Hello everyone. This linen dress is the first thing that I made after my husband passed away 2 months ago. At first, it was a real struggle- I kept putting things together the wrong way and having to rip it out and do it over again. I probably shouldn't have chosen an asymmetrical design with fabric that looks the same on both sides for my first project! But as I finished, I felt a real sense of accomplishment!

Here's a view of the inside. Isn't that just pretty? Please do…
