What motivates you to sew?

My friend, Jane, and I were just window shopping when these comfy Keens fell into my bag.

I had this Flax dress and the accompanying short sleeve linen shirt.

But, I'm a print or stripe woman, for sure.  So, when this stripe shirting appeared on Marcy Tilton's website, the selection was easy.

I'd made this pattern before in a bold blue check, 

So no pattern testing required.

I'll probably press it before I wear it, but at least it's done!

Now, on to some sort of stretch cotton pants from the same color family, thanks to Apple Annie's Fourth of July sale.
