Springtime Sewing

The weather has changed and I can't stop thinking about sewing new clothes for Spring. 

Here is what is currently on my project list.

Blouses: Both of these should look sweet with my green linen wide leg pants from early Fall, my jeans, or some of my A-line skirts. 

Pink cotton w/gold deer accents

-I'll use view C (the blue striped drawing) & I'll add a keyhole opening with a ribbon tie like this one:

Gingham Cottagecore Blouse

-I'll be making over an old shirt of my husband's using this vintage repro pattern:

-inspired by this one from Target:

 

Dresses: It's getting warm in So. Cal.  I need something swooshy & comfy enough to stay at home in, but practical enough to run errands, etc. 

 

"Malachite" Green Jersey

 -View B (short sleeved): simple, versatile, lightweight, & comfy.  Also, this pattern has been on my to-sew list a long time.  I'm excited to try it out. 

Pink Ikat Wrap Dress (Re-make)

--This was started a couple of years ago and I just wasn't happy with the pattern.  I'm going to try to remake it with the M6959 to make it a true wrap dress.  I'm debating adding 3/4 length, sleeves.  Possibly the fuller sleeves from the Simplicity pattern.

Light Plaid Jumper/Sundress

--I'm kind of a sucker for plaid, and this one is so light and lovely I couldn't resist.  As a bonus, I think it  can be transitioned to Fall pretty easily.

Grey Crepe Moon Phases Print

--If the wrap dress pattern works out for the ikat print, I think I will use it for this fabric and add the long full sleeves from the Simplicity pattern.

Royal Blue 1940s Day Dress

--It seems that most of my wardrobe is patterned.  In the interest of adding a few more elegant solid pieces, here is a second solid in a light, comfy, cheerful, & versatile poly crepe.  I've made up this pattern before in a vintage brown patterned rayon--that version is currently for sale in my Etsy shop. *wink.*

If I can get through 1/2 of this by the end of June it will be a miracle. :D

I have another 3 sundress remakes/replacements planned for June-August.  

We'll see how that goes.
