1. A maxi dress! After all your input (thank you!) I chose the Style pattern (view 3 with square neckline, to be lengthened) and have cut out the pieces already.
2. A shirt dress. Using this pattern won in Handmade Jane's Giveaway:
I was so chuffed to win this pattern in Jane's giveaway. When she commented that it reminded her of the Lisette Traveller pattern I was sold, as I've wanted to make that pattern for some time (she also hilariously referred to it as 'dinner lady chic', but I think I can make it work!). I'm planning to make view 3, with a fabric yet to be decided. Maybe a chambray.
3. A project to revisit jersey and knits. Last time I tried, I couldn't get into sewing with jersey and blamed my machine. Having seen just too many fab knit projects to list, I'm going to give it another go. I know a few bloggers have written about sewing with knits in the last few months, so I'll be revisiting those posts with interest.
4. Another one seam skirt in a plain fabric, for work. And maybe a denim one.
5. At least one more McCalls blouse. Probably more than one.
6. A casual skirt using this vintage Simplicity pattern
And I think that's enough to keep me busy in the meantime!
EDIT - I forgot one!
7. This Simplicity Dress (v.2 with short sleeves and a wide neckline) in Eiffel Tower Fabric. I'll be making a wearable muslin first.

You have some great makes ahead of you. Like you, I love lists. Unlike you, I am bad at following up with my sewing lists. I must amend that.
ReplyDeleteA shirt dress in chambray is a great fabric choice. As is the one for your maxi. Looking forward to seeing it.
I love the shirt dresses!
ReplyDeleteOoh yes - chambray shirt dress! Definitely! Love your plans! Happy sewing!
ReplyDeleteYay! Glad you opted for that maxi dress, can't wait to see the finished article. x
ReplyDeleteGreat plans! I definitely recommend the shirt dress in chambray. I have one (bought at Target years ago) that I wear to death. They're so versatile!
ReplyDeleteALSO! I love the new blog background - I think I recognize some of those cute buttons. :) :)
DeleteYes! You definitely do! :) I was playing around with images for the background and I already had the photo and I thought it fitted well.
DeleteNice list! I also want to make something in knit... probaby a maxi dress, so I'll be coming back often to see what's "knitting" under your machine!!!
ReplyDeleteSo cool! I love all of these ideas! Of course, your maxi will be FAB, and the shirt dress is way too cute! What a lovely pattern!
ReplyDeleteYour sewing plans always include vintage pattern candy....love all of it!!
ReplyDeleteYou're so organised! Everything is lovely, and I really like the shirt dress, view 3 is my favourite too. :)
ReplyDeleteI think you'll ROCK that shirt dress pattern, especially in chambray, what a lovely idea. Version 3 is my favourite too, the model even looks a bit like you (well, same hair!) x
ReplyDeleteOhh I adore that skirt pattern! I'd love to have ten of those kinds of skirts.
ReplyDeletexo,

I love the Simplicity dress with the eiffel fabric. Those colours are going to look gorgeous. Can't wait to see it and so envious of your productivity!
