Alaskan Summer

In Alaska, this is a summer dress.  I used Pamela's Patterns T shirt pattern, and added a funnel neck, then lengthened the pattern, and put a flare into the skirt,   My fabric was shipped from Pennsylvania, when Nick and moved here to Alaska.  I came here in January, and Nick arrived, after selling our Penna home, in April.

We now live in Eagle River, Alaska, which is north of Anchorage.

I set up my sewing room in a bedroom in the basement.  It's still under 'construction', as I'm still deciding where to put everything.  Nick set up some ceiling mounted flourescents, along with a door, put on top of file cabinets, as a cutting table.

I've been pretty busy with my paid work, and when not doing that, have been hiking and taking advantage of this rare (to me) wildness that is Alaska.  The state calls itself the 'last frontier' for good reason.

I'll post more later.  Thanks for still being there!  More, I promise..more!  Will come.
