A Sewalong to Get Me Sewing

Readjusting to home life after a crazy amazing summer has been difficult. I walked back into my room and the fabrics started screaming at me for my long neglect. There are things I have to sew and things I want to sew and things I should sew. But I haven't known where to start so I've just been sitting on my bed cruising the interwebs instead. Until I read Heather B's post today.... It was the kick in the pants I needed.


I do make lists to keep myself from being overwhelmed or distracted so the categories offered here are very appealing. I'm also going to try to not write everything I could make and keep it to a more realistic amount...

Fashionable Foundations

  • Brown Corduroy Maritime Jeans Hack... I've got a couple more fabrics for trousers as well, I'm just not ready to tackle them again...
  • Green Wool Skirt of some sort. Today I found out I'm entering SD Make It With Wool Contest and showing my garments on the 18th. No panic...
Chic Chemises
  • Finish Red Cabled Sweater I've got partially knitted. 
  • Green Wool Crepe Top that should be drapey for MIWW contest. Any pattern suggestions?
  • Pink & Blue Plaid Japanese Tunic Top
  • Teal & Grey Sweatshirt Knit Tunic Top
Fabulous Frocks
  • Something Pretty! I'm bummed I missed out on the summer stuff!
It's Cold Outside
  • Schnittchen Mona Jacket in Turquoise Corduroy
Whew, just looking at that seems more manageable than what I was thinking. Maybe now I can move forward and sew on!
