- grey french terry
- elastic, twill tape
- New Look 6650 top - 1 5/8 yards
- lightweight chambray
- button, trim for ties
- Vogue 1501 skirt - 2 yards
- floral poly crepe
- invisible zipper, button
- Burda 6769 skirt - 1.5 yards
- lightweight denim
- zipper, tack button
I was so productive!! The Burda tee and NL top were new-to-me patterns. The others have all been sewn before. I am fine with sewing...cutting out patterns is still tough.
Favorite: The skirts. My Vogue skirt makes me HAPPY!!!! And the jean skirt is ev.ery.thing! I cannot wait to do the final finishing bits.
FAILS: Nothing really aside from being 'meh' on the NL top for now.
Accomplishments: The construction on that Burda tee is so awesome!! <3 Also, I made some style changes to the Burda denim skirt and it all worked out very well. Review to come soon!
This month I bought 4 yards of fabric (2 were used on the crepe skirt). My totals for the first half of the year are:
IN: 32.75
OUT: 35.25
YAY!
Patterns? Uhmm.....I bought 14 total in January and Feburary, before surgery. I'm up to 58 now. EEK!
July plans:
Deer & Doe Sirocco jumpsuit for my birthday dinner!
And then back to my summer plans...which I've made 5 of the patterns here already!
Already sewn: top 1, skirts 3 & 4, dress 2, shorts
Next up is either the cropped pants or the tie-neck blouse. It's suddenly SUPER HOT. Like, real hot, not just Minnesota hot. I am thinking I'll push M7251 (top 3) to fall. I'm considering replacing it with something I've made before that would be a straightforward sew like S2594 or a Burda because I wouldn't need a muslin. We will see!
And, oh yeah, THIS happened:
New hair, who dis?!
Absolutely ADORE the cut!
