I need a sewing sorbet this Canada Day


My very funny oldest step-daughter once referred to a person she was dating casually as a "boyfriend sorbet", someone to help her clear the palate she said after a major heartbreak and before she was ready to try again seriously.

I feel that way now about my Vogue dress constructed in record time. A sewing sorbet.

I still want to sew but I really need some instant gratification, and easy pattern, something I can mostly serge.

I'm thinking about a pull-on summer dress to be started this Canada Day, between lawn work and weed pulling.
