September Is Almost Over! Sewing Reflection

It's hard to believe that September is almost over!  This week I started seriously thinking about fall and winter sewing projects.  There is always so much I want to make and do.  It's overwhelming.  There isn't enough time in a day to accomplish as much as I'd like to.

I'm happy to report that I finished at least 2/3 of the summer projects on my list including a swimsuit (UFO) for my daughter.  Right now, I have three more summer projects to complete.  I'll work on finishing them over the course of the next several days.  I've ready finished two fall garments.  Reviews on those will be posted this weekend.  They are part of the Style Maker Fabric Fall Tour.

So over the next several days review to post are:

• Simplicity Dress S1314
• Butterick Jacket B6329
• Butterick and McCall Swimsuit BP291 & M7578 for DD (UFO)
• McCall Pants  M7726 (made in June)
• McCall Shirt M7753 (made in July)
• McCall Top M7687
• Vogue Dress V1352
• McCall Dress M6116 

Meanwhile, I'm continuing to work on my top ten projects to make this fall.  One will be McCall Jacket M6440, view D.

Loose Ends

I have a few loose ends to tie up.  Many finished projects were never photographed with me wearing them.  I still have several reviews to write.   There are several summer project partially completed.  Good thing these projects can be layered and worn during the fall.  That's the summer sewing update.

Fall is here and I do have some projects in mind.  Included in the list is my test of  drafting a few of Rhonda's sleeves.  I already drafting two of them:  the shirred wrist sleeve and the cowl draped sleeve.  So soon I will post those tests starting with me drafting the sleeves using Rhonda's instructions.  Also, fringes and polka dots are on trend.  I like them and want to make something that includes them.   That's all I have for now.

Stay Tuned!
