Sew Much to Sew, Sew Little Time

First order of business is a holiday party dress. This will also be a prototype for the MOB dress. I've gotta get the holiday dress done before December 4th, which is the date of the first of 3 holiday events I know of so far. I'm going to use Vogue 7823 . Gonna do up a muslin first. Sandra Betzina herself recommended it to me as flattering for my figure. It's got great reviews on PR, and if the muslin looks halfway decent I'm off to find some pretty fabric.

After my holiday dress is finished I've got a bunch more patterns to make up:
  • Petite Plus Shapely shirt, using a denim-look stretch woven with a subtle sparkle
  • Unique trousers, using a bottom weight blue stretch woven (coordinates with the shapely shirt fabric
  • Simplicity 5469, in a stretch velvet that will go with my blue pencil skirt and maybe the blue stretch wovens.
  • Vogue 7333, or another pattern tbd, using a really nice tone-on-tone subtle stripe black polyester.

I don't want much, do I?

Cozy Purple Pop of Color

Cozy purple throws for snuggling!  Adds some color  to the living room.  Thick fleece trimmed straight with rounded corners.  I tried some overcast stitches with my Juki however I couldn't get the look I wanted so I pulled out my serger. Gosh it's been, like 2 years since I used it but luckily it worked (I've had it for quite awhile but I'm still kinda afraid of it 😜).

Crafty Stirrings

My sewing stuff has been packed up for quite awhile and I miss it! It was packed up to make room for a season of extended visits by family which we have truly enjoyed so it was a worthy trade-off. Family visits will be done in a few weeks and in the meantime we decided that we'll be moving into a different house a few weeks later, so my sewing and craft things (other than sewing-related stuff I have just a few jewelry-making and scrap-booking supplies) will remain packed until it's arranged in our new abode. Focusing on family and transition decisions has taken up my mental space so it's just now, as I begin creating the vision of our next home I'm looking forward to having a sewing space again.
