I've decided to just write one post for all the sleeveless linen Demeters I've made so far this year, rather than give them each a post with about two lines of text! They are all view B (which has a higher neckline and longer and slightly narrower skirt than view A) with the skirt lengthened by about 3" and the plain ones all took 1.8m of fabric.
In order of me making them they are this one, which I made in April
with Forest Green linen from LinenOholic who have an Etsy shop and their own website.
Then I made a few other dresses before version two came along in an absolutely beautiful pale pink colour. Started in late May and finished in early June.
After that in mid-June (again, with a couple of other dresses in between) came this in Lollipop linen from Merchant & Mills - I absolutely love, love, love this fabric - orange is such a happy, summery colour. this took 2m and I also had to cut the front skirt piece slightly narrower - this isn't quite as wide as the plain linens.
This was the next Demeter off the blocks in a gorgeous yellow linen called Faded Sun which again came from LinenOholic and which I finished in early July.
Five other dresses later, in August, came this one in Penzance linen from Merchant & Mills, I cut the skirt slightly shorter and wider and it took 1.65m
Closely followed by this one which has the skirt width of view A and took 1.7m.
And that's as far as I've got until now, although there will definitely be more. Great in summer just as they are, and in winter with a warm cardigan and boots.
