Carefree Clothes for Girls Month 4 Project

I hope you all had a great fourth of July!  We had a great day.  A few friends and yummy food is all I require.  We went up to the hills in San Jose and watched the fireworks explode all over the valley.  It was beautiful! 

I had fun with that last skirt!  I will post pictures of it finished soon, but I wanted to get the next month's project up before too long. 

You have until Tuesday July 6th at Noon Pacific time to submit your project link for last month!

This month's project is the Chemise and the optional project is the Babushka Style Scarf.  Both very easy and perfect for hot weather.  I am going to try to make two of the shirts since they look so simple.  I already took out the pattern and began drafting it up.  You will have to make some slight modifications to one of the dress patterns, but it doesn't looks difficult.  You are just making it a little narrower and shorter.

Try to add some sort of extra embellishment to your shirts and scarves to make them your own.

Also dont forget to leave a link to your pictures

of your finished project in the comments of this post

and enter some photos to the flickr group. 

The winner of this month will get

Finally -- I guessed RIGHT! :-)

Although, the combination of summer heat + dwindling patterns might have something to do with that... ha ha!

I am ALSO eager to sew the chemise -- and have some 'saved' fabric set aside just for that pattern. Babushka scarf as well...

Thank you, thank you, thank you again for being at the helm on this sewalaong. :-)

I finished....and am hoping to make another chemise. Once I got the measurements right, it all fell into place.

Of course, she can't grow now...that would throw everything off. ha ha!

I am definitely going to join this challenge. I just discovered this sew-along, and I purchased the book a few months ago, so I'm really excited. I've made the pants (which I love, and were so easy) and will make at least one chemise, if not more. I'm eager to get going!

I made the chemise, you can see it here:

I'm having some problems with flickr - I never merged my old account with a yahoo account and now they won't let me. Looks like my old profile and all my pictures and comments are lost to me forever :( I've put it up in our Crafterhours flickr for now and added it to the group.

I finished one chemise; I plan to make another but am not sure when I'll have it done. But here's my first one:
