June Sewing Plans

 

Well it is halfway through the year, and I am, as usual, behind in all my plans! My planning eyes are bigger than my doing stomach ;) 

In May I was able to finish 3 projects, all for specific purposes. I've made a list of some items I'd like to make this month, just for fun! There are a number of things I'd like to accomplish in June. 

First, tracing off a handful of patterns - some newer ones and some old classics that I've been meaning to make for YEARS. (looking at you, Chalk & Notch Fringe Dress!) And I would like to get busy on that Hinterland bodice, a goal I've noted for the past few months. I've gotten as far as pattern adjustments and cutting a muslin, so I am hoping a real Hinterland will materialize this month. I would really like to finish up a couple of summer dresses this month, including just a plain navy one as a basic. 

Hinterland and Fringe
both on my wishlist!

I'm also planning on prepping a fun embroidery project that I designed a while back, getting it ready for summer stitching. It's always nice to have something portable for the summer so that I can work on it outside or during trips. I'll share that when I have it all ready to go! 

Looking at my sewing lately, I realistically make 1-2 pieces a month on average, so I'm trying not to overplan. But there are so many wonderful patterns and wonderful fabrics I'd like to use. I think that reorganizing the sewing room might appear as a plan later on this year, too, in order to make everything more accessible and user friendly. We will see... 

Do you have big plans for summer sewing this year?
