I had a week off of work and did I get any sewing done?
Nope.
I wanted to, and after a couple of days of vacation I'd finished up some other stuff & was ready to, but I organized the sewing area instead. My (small) fabric stash has been swatched onto index cards, with the fabric itself neatly tied into rolls and stored in a labeled flip-top bin.
Gone are some once-promising but now-wadder-chalk it up as a learning experience-projects such as my bodice sloper and a previous princess seam blouse that I had altered into oblivion and could no longer figure out where I was.
I am sticking with 3 of my basics at this point:
Basic princess shell
Basic darted blouse
Basic pants
with the princess shell at the top of my list, since it's summertime and this is a sleeveless top (however, I would wear it under a jacket or sweater at work).
Both the shell and the darted blouse are very close to becoming well-fitted, tried 'n true patterns and I'm excited to start making them in different colors and prints and work toward an actual wardrobe plan. I definitely want to try them in Brussels Washer fabric.
My in-progress Basic princess jacket has been set aside until autumn because the fabric isn't suitable for summer. Besides, I just bought 2 linen-rayon blazers from Jessica London in khaki and light olive, so I'm good for jackets at the moment.
