T.G.I.F. and some sewing plans :-)

I'm SO glad it's Friday!!!! Y'all remember this??? LOL **Sings...what I need from you is Understanddddddddddddddinggggggggg** lol

Anyway I am good for making sewing plans lol. Remember these spring and summer plans? HA! A few of those things got made, but I kinda just did my own thing lol.

Now it's time to plan again lol, except this time I have a reason lol. Getting ready to do some traveling and of course, I need some new additions to my wardrobe lol ;)

First, I need a jacket...seasons are changing...well getting ready to lol.

You can click on all the fabric pics to make them larger and see more detail.

Simplicity 2558

 

 

I *heart* this fabric. It's a wool tweed and it is GORGEOUS. I swear this picture does it NO justice. I bought it early this summer and I'm SO glad I did. I ALMOST walked away from it. It was back in the clearance section for 60% off of $9.99. When Hancock started putting our their fall fabrics, they took this from the back and put it on the front with the wools for $12.99 or $9.99 a yard. I did GOOD lol. Oh, I'm making the long sleeve view.

Simplicity 2700 and Butterick 5355 View C

 

I made what four pair of shorts/capri pants this summer and I am no longer scared to make pants lol. I don't know why I was scared anyway lol. Just do it right? LOL. Well I will make the Simplicity 2700 in a light weight denim (yall know thats my most favorite fabric EVER lol) and the Butterick top in the silk chiffon that I got last year from Gail K Fabrics.I've never worked with chiffon because I have been very,very afraid of it. I'm gonna jump right in lol.

Vogue 2972

I have had this pattern *FOREVER*  I don't know if you can see the color of the darker fabric. I *think* it's a cotton blend twill. I label my fabric when I buy it now and I didn't do that when I purchased this. It's an olive color and the yellow really works well with it.

Kwik sew 3667 and Jalie 2908

 

 

I have really fallen in love with Kwik Sew patterns. Their directions are SO good. Y'all know I follow directions to the "T" when needed lol. For the KS pattern I'm making the hoodie version. I'm still undecided if I will add the front pocket or not...we will see lol.

I am FINALLY about to make my first pair of jeans. I swore up and down when I first started sewing that I would make everything except my jeans lol. HA! Guess I'm eating crow lol. Everyone that has made this pattern has had a fab pair of jeans. I hope my pair isn't the first messed up pair lol.

Kwik Sew 3678

*gasp* I'm making a "track suit" LOL I know you can't believe it right? LOL Well I wanna be comfy when I fly and still look cute lol. I'mma ROCK THIS! LOL. Anyway, this is one of Hancock's new knits. I can NOT remember the name of it, but I THINK it starts with a P. I'll find out when I go back in there lol.

Butterick 5383 

IF Hancock has the new Butterick patterns out in time for me to make this dress, I will make it. I LOVE this fabric! It's a silk cotton satin that I got from Fashionista Fabrics when I won the Pattern Review Mini Wardrobe Contest last year (I won a GC from them, yep still happy about that lol).

The pattern actually calls for a knit BUT this fabric has a little give in it. I don't know. I'm going to make a muslin first, but I think this will be fierce as a LBD. Put on the right accessories and some FIYA shoes that I ALREADY OWN!?!? HA! baaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbby.

Ok, I'm excited! LOL

That's all I have y'all!

Have a GREAT weekend and be safe!!

Toodles!

Wow, Adrienne, that is a great wardrobe you are going to put together. How much time did you plan for all of this? Goodluck, can't wait to see what it will all look like!

[Virginia J]

I understand no matter how your plan there is always something that gets in your way and it is always YOU! I like the patterns and fabric choices you got your work cut out for you ( no pun intended) traveling sounds fun. GET BUSY. Oh! by the way . Happy Birthday to me!

[urbanknitrix]

Canlt wait to see the finished results. Lawd you took us back to the Tiny that didn't look like Miss Piggy. What did she do to her lips?

[Neecha]

*Eagerly awaiting the finished results* Everything looks fabulous and I know you're going to rock it!

[opal215]

I am excited too.. just from you being excited... I can't wait to see your finished projects.....thats what I need to start doing is sewing with a plan.... I am just all over the place when i sew....

[Mye]

Dang, you got a lot going on! You better get busy...I make plans all the time, now ask me if I'm able to follow through with them!! HA

[Kim]

Ok, The LBD, I am feeling it. Love the fabric you pick out for it. Can't wait to see it complete.

[Patricia Richardson]

Great patterns, beautiful fabrics and I have no doubt the outfits will all be lovely (or else we won't see them, lol). Have a blessed weekend.

[RealHustla]

Oh Hey! The short sleeve Runway jacket is what's up next for me. It's what I was asking you about the microsuede for a while back. I got this cheap Walmart stuff (that I'm not even sure is microsuede) to sew my first version on, so I'm not going to dry clean it like you said. I may regret my stubborn ways, but we'll see, lol. I'm going to make the long sleeve one too. Maybe I can find a powder blue wool.

I love the new heading pic.

[Nikki]

Guuurrrlll, if you'd have passed up that fabric for 60% off $9.99, I'd have had to come to AL personally to hit you in the head. It wouldn't have been a wasted purchase either (as you can see). I can not wait to see you knock those jeans and that track suit outta the water! Hurry up!!! lol

[Sew-Ann]

I'm picturing the denim and the chiffon as the complete outfit. Great contrast of colors and fabric. That would be my fav of the bunch.

[Dana]

Adrienne, I am going to book a flight sometime next year. Will let you know in advance! I need you to not make plans for a week. We will be locked in your craft room, so that you can teach me to sew and knit. OH and make red velvet cake! Sound like a plan? LOL

[Tany]

I LOVE the color of your wool tweed! I ordered some coating fabric in a similar color!

I see you are all geared up to start sewing for fall! I really like your plan and I'm starting to feel motivated to plan ahead my fall sewing!

[Jackie O]

Good luck you have a great looking lineup!!

[Cassandra]

Ooohhh! I'm getting excited for you! Your fall ensemble will be so sweet. I can't wait to see your finished projects.

[Toni]

I want to try Kwik Sew, but they never go on sale! LOL Those 99 cents sales have me spoiled.

[Sue McFarland]

Ohhh these are really nice patterns...you will look great in them! Hope that you had a good weekend. PS..thanks for the input on my photos :)

[Tiffany]

That was one of my favorite groups back in the day. Now one of the singers is on housewives of Atlanta...so much drama. As much as I hate real-life drama, I love watching this show. Love all the new fashions, can't wait to see the finished products.
