My mom has been trying to teach me to sew since I was young. She, herself, is a wonderful seamstress. I personally like the liberty of being able to make my own clothes, though I don’t get it done very often. It seems as if I do more dreaming than I do stitching. In fact, I have a whole basket of dreams. If I am diligent (and blog quickly), maybe I can get my room project done (I am rearranging and organizing to make room for a little studio), and then I can at least cut out one of my projects before I head back to school.
I have an 80’s pattern that looks delicious! I envisioned a Nancy Drew khaki with black and white damask accents.
I’m hoping to turn this lovely green fabric into my first maxi dress. It makes me look forward to spring!
With the red, I am planning on sewing up a dressy top—it would be a nice addition to my wardrobe.
This is some cute printed knit with which I want to make a casual summer top. I think I would love it.
Occasionally, my dreams do come true. I loved the Route 66 skirt over at Marie-Madeline Studio. In looking for a similar pattern I discovered a retro pattern that I decided to try. It's not quite the Route 66 skirt (I'm still dying over their denim skirt), and the panels are a little wider than I envisioned, but I like it. I sewed it awhile ago, but now it is in my to-do list again because I think it could stand to loose a few inches on the sides so that the waist band doesn't bunch up so much when I tie the belt.
The project top on my list, however, is a dark purple dress. I thought I would try out a princess style on this one.
Sigh. I must make time for sewing.
Blessings,
Alyssa
