Projects in the pipeline

My random plans, matching fabric to patterns… in no particular order…& a bit of a mish mash – much like my brain!!  

Plans to tidy the look of this page up with the help of someone technical ….but for now – bit of a mess!

The summer stash

About to cut out ….

A Ginger in red linen/ cotton mix

Also on the list …

And tops made from…

And a full skirt …

Current UFO:

Vogue 2155

In dark navy waffle weave suiting (I’m making the flared skirt)

To come next Autumn….

Vogue 2155: An 80s Vogue (Calvin Klein) pattern – I love the high waists, particularly the flared skirt & wide legged trousers.

Vogue 2155

Trousers for work from the same pattern out of this amazing posh “Saville Row” wool suiting -Super 130s – well that’s what the local fabric shop told me.  It’s the most wonderful fabric.

I fancy using some pinstriped wool (same as my Meringue skirt ) to match a waistcoat using a Project Runway pattern, Simplicity 2633.  (Pictures to come).

I also have an itch to make:

Madeleine- Victory patterns

I have some royal blue linen (not sure if I have enough, however)

Mustn’t forget I’m making the Bombshell dress out of navy polka dot cotton.  If all goes to plan, I’ll get to grips with it in January so that I can wear it for my birthday party (disco dancing!)  But it’s March, that didn’t happen!

Not also forgetting the Couture Dress & the Starlet suit….OMG, when will I have the time?

After seeing Tanit Isis’s inspirational make, one of the tops needs to be The Birds on a wire tee, by Steph at 3hourspast.com
