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.

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?
Got lots of plans and way, way too many ideas. I just bought a copy of the v-neck blouse you posted on a few days ago so I want to get that traced off and trialed in an unloved fabric; I'm working my way through a friend's canvas home dec donation making kids' jean jackets with super hero linings; I'm working on a thigh length Levi jacket for me; and I've got to think up what I'm going to sew in the fall "Tailoring" class. Too many patterns and fabric and too litle time.
ReplyDeleteI agree -- so many patterns & fabric, far more than available time! But I'm happy to hear that you found a copy of the pattern for the blouse - I thought it was very nice to sew, I hope you do too.
