May Projects
May 26, 2012
Just a little polyvore to help me orgaize the projects I want to work on. Lots of jewelry and few sewn items. Bodice and midriff band completed on the yellow eyelet dress. Its looking good, fit seems spot on. I did do some alterations- I will detail those on my final post with pictures.

Totally inspired by that gorgeous Dolce and Gabbana number as seen at Cannes. I found this similar but more versatile dress from modcloth. I need a yellow summer dress. :) Well need is a strong word. I found some gorgeous eyelet at Joann’s, 100% cotton lawn with nice embroidery.
Fabric is in the washer, can’t wait to get started. I will be using Simp. 2579, vew b for the most part, possibly swapping in the midriff band from Simp. 2876 view b. We’ll see if I can make them fit together. Can’t wait to wear it!

Fall Items to Make
September 30, 2011
I made this polyvore to help me remember all the things I want to make this fall. I have already finished one of the tops and most of one dress (the white tank and cream dress). This plan includes 5 tops, 5 dresses 2 skirts and a sweater. Also shown are a crocheted purse and a missoni scarf. I plan to make those as well. Ambitious I know. I have been inspired by The Sew Weekly (awesome blog btw) to try to complete one item a week, which seems a manageable goal. So far I have done more like 1 item every two weeks. So I need to find a way to squeeze in more sewing time. I am trying to be more intentional about actually completeing things. Its hard to fit everything in though. Tasia had a discussion on her blog about this last week and it seems I’m not the only one who works, has kids pets, husbands etc to fill up all the free time, and yet sewing is imprtant to me so I am trying to find a way to make it happen more. I hope to post some completed objects soon!

I have been sewing. My poor little blog doesn’t really reflect that though, eh? Well mostly due to an out of commission camera I have neglected to post here lately. I have a new camera though so I am going to try to post more now. I made the above collage on polyvore to organize my fall inspiration and sewing goals. I have already made a dark floral dress like the “Picnic in the Park” dress. Pictures and a review soon. I am looking for inspiration for a white dress, I am debating between a shirt dress style and something simpler like a tank dress, the one above combines both of those elements which could be a good choice. I tend to like to wear cardigans over my fall/winter dresses, so I usually prefer not to have sleeves.
I am really loving that plaid “Perthshire” dress above and the “Falling Snow Dress”. I guess I know what I will be sewing next, a dress! ha ha.
I have some finished summer sewing to post, I can take pictures now that I have a camera. I did not complete my wardrobe on time for the contest. 
I did finish some great summer items though, that I love. Will try to post those later this week.
Fabrics for My Wardrobe
June 15, 2010The top fabrics
- coral cotton- jj blouse from burdastyle
- pink knit- self drafted jcrew knockoff
- white rayon- see previous post (completed top)
- striped knit- pattern undecided
- aqua eyelet- self drafted sun dress
- cream knit- S 2603
- floral cotton lawn- Michelle from burda style
- grey stretch twill- anthropologie knockoff cropped pants
- floral cotton sateen- jcrew pencil skirt knockoff
- stretch denim- jalie jeans
So that’s the plan so far, I may change the striped top into a solid grey one with shirring at the neckline.
