I started thinking about spring the other day and I'm sooooooooooooo ready lol.
I've cleaned/purged my closet and I now know what I need, and I have a couple upcoming trips that I need to sew for lol. Getting it all in together lol.
Here are a few of the things that I WANT to make. Y'all know wanting to make something and actually making it is two totally different things sooo ... lol
**small print** Projects subject to change without notice lol. (since this has been typed up, the new Vogue patterns have come out and BABBBBBBBBBBBYYYYYYY I am in love! LOL. I know there are atleast TWO dresses I want to make for my trip. Ummhmm. Can't wait lol.
Jackets
I don't know WHY I am so obsessed with lightweight jackets. I guess because they are perfect for the climate here.
Looking at this zebra-ish fabric now, I'm reconsidering lol.
My trench. FINALLY...the multi-color is the lining.
Skirts
Can you tell I'm in love with denim? Like just a little bit? LOL
Pants
2700 is my GO TO Pants pattern. I LOVE IT!
Tops
The sleeveless view....
I plan on doing this one with a white collar and cuffs.
I think this one would be a good way to play with these stripes. I've had this fabric forever lol.
I'm kinda on the fence with this one now...
Dresses
I've made this dress already and love it. I'm thinking I'm going to do it sleeveless.
I needed a simple dress to showcase some gorgeous fabric.
I've had this pattern for a while too. I love this color linen!
I'm gonna try this wrap dress. I MIGHT not do the curved hem though.
And so far that's it lol. Well not really lol.
Now ask me if I'm sewing lol. As of right now NO LOL. I think its the weather lol. It's zapped my mojo lol.
Toodles!
I love your fabrics! I think I have six of the above patterns. At this rate, I won't get around to them until October.

I love all of your pattern and fabric choices! I've made both the Kwik Sew wrap dress and simplicity 3893 before and really liked both. I did find that the Simplicity pattern has a lot of ease in it so I went down two sizes from what the chart suggested! Can't wait to see the finished projects!

I am working on those pants now in almost the same color!

That quite ambitious. I'm sure you'll get it done, though.

I've got my eye on the McCalls zebra striped jacket pattern, too. It's a great twist on a jeans style jacket, keeping it feminine and more fitted. The Kwik Sew wrap dress is great. I've made the curved hem and the straight and I don't like the curve. It reduces the coverage and makes it easier to fly up when you walk. I'm going to try the Jalie jeans pattern this year, too, so I'm keen to see how yours turn out.

I like what you've planned. I have some of those patterns. The fabric you paired with McCalls 5860 I've had my eye on everytime I go into Hancocks. Can't wait to see all your spring projects.

Pardon the pun! YOU HAVE YOUR WORK CUT OUT FOR YOU!I can't wait to see what you come up with.

I love the green and white stripes. If I could sew, I'd probably make a tube top looking maxi dress with it. The white dress on the pattern is exactly what I need. I am going to PRAY that I see that dress in the stores.. Cause you know good and well i can't sew a button on!

I am SO going to steal that trench coat! I love all of your fabric. Can't wait to see the completed versions. Oh, and I spotted a sew easy for Kisha pattern too>>woohoo! lol

UGH! I want that A+O skirt pattern so bad! I think I may just have to bit the bullet and order it off the website, since I can't find my size anywhere on ebay or etsy. Wah wah.
