I have not felt like I have had enough time with my sewing machine lately.  We have had Small Mister a lot when we are not traveling.  It is harder now to sew with him on my lap then it used  to be because he wishes to help so badly.  

Out of the linen I bought I have made a nightgown and this smock top/dress.  It is a Simplicity pattern 2059 that I had seen changed on pinterest.  I took the one change I really liked, adding 12 inches to the front and back.  I pleated everything that was supposed to be gathered and made the sleeves a bit longer.

It is a great top for over skirts and probably jeans (if I owned them).

And  a dress around the house.  I would wear it out with tights but it is just much to warm right now.  Probably in autumn.
