House dress wishfulness

 I sometimes struggle with the demarcation of boundaries when it comes to setting aside time to be creative make things. All too often I will sit down at the sewing machine and get distracted by the thoughts of household tasks that really need doing. I have been looking for a pattern for an overall or house dress for a while now as a way of protecting my clothes of course, but also as a kind of crafting 'uniform' - an indication to myself, if no one else, that I am 'at work' and not to be disturbed.   I found this wonderful vintage french house dress in a vintage fair today. I love the faded paisley print and the simple but elegant shape. Unfortunately it is far too small for me! I am wondering how easy it would be to cut a pattern from... watch this space!
