I really love that dress, I would wear it all the time in the summer! Linen is great, it gets like 110+ here in the summer! Love how you combined the patterns!

It is so cute, I love the color and pattern!  You did a great job on it, and it fits you perfect!

Wow! You did a great job, I would wear that everyday!

I love it!  It looks so good on you! If you make a pattern I would love to get it! Thanks 

That is sooo much cuter! I love it! My problem is that I am tall, so the waist is usually at my ribs, lol!

That is such a great idea!   There are sooo many of those terrible g-pa sweaters out there just waiting to be reconstructed!  I'm going to go look in my closet

Good job, hand sewing can be trying!  Keep it up, I <3 sewing!   

It is very cute, and I love that it is saving the environment (in many ways )!

I really like that, unique design!   Love the pearls mixed with metal!  Great job

Thanks for the compliments!   I actually bought these shells, but I have collected shells and used a super sharp small bit to drill tiny holes to bead with them.  My hubby is steady handed and usually drills for me I used 8 lb test flourocarbon fishing line (in the center to hold the beads) because it is sturdy, invisible, and has no memory.
