I started this nearly a month ago and life keeps getting in the way of my sewing! It originally started as New Look pattern 6726, but I changed in a few key ways:
- I took out the back zipper and made it pull-on
- I lengthened the bodice 2 inches so it fit
- I lengthened the skirt nine (9!!!!) inches to cover my knees
I've always wanted a denim jumper, but I didn't want it to be too homely. This dark denim, bought at the Memorial Day sale for 50% off was just the ticket. It's comfy, easy-wear, and just right for my current role as a 5th grade teacher.
I have a brown linen dress that is so close to done it makes me want to clear my schedule for the 2 hours it would take to finish it. It's SOOO pretty I've thought (seriously) about just wearing it unfinished... until I realized the thing I have to finish includes the straps! :-D

Wow. I never thought I would see a cute jumper but you have done it!! It's darling! I can't wait to see the brown linen dress. Brown is one of my favorite colors and linen. . .yumm. . .Glorious combination!
I really like it! I think you definitely caught some cute amidst the denim. I, too, am anxious to see your brown linen creation. It sounds lovely.
Hope you are well!
How sweet!! You did a great job. How fun that you are teaching.
