I've been trying to organize my plans for spring sewing projects as a trip to the fabric store is in my near future and I need to think through the Spring Palette Challenge some more. So here are my options. Comments are, of course, appreciated.
1. 1940s Swing Dress
This is a no brainer as I'm doing the sew along.
2. Sew Serendipity Skirts
I got the book Sew Serendipity for Christmas and I've been dying to make something from it, but it is definitely a Spring/Summer sewing book!
Option a)
I bought some fabric for this skirt already. I just have to hunt down some contrast and ruffle material. This is going to be a Spring Palette Challenge item.
Option b)
I love love love the skirt on the front of the book! I will make it eventually.
PS Just found Kay Whitt's blog!
3. Shirtwaist dress a la The Notebook
I want to make this dress:
by adapting this pattern:
Pros: Just need to add cuffs and do a different collar.
Cons: Not in the color palette of my Spring Palette Challenge.
4. Simplicity Blouse 2501 View C
I want to add more separates to my wardrobe and I'm particularly smitten with view c (although view b is nice too).
5. Simplicity Blouse 4978
I like views D, E and F for spring.
6. Wrap dress with bow
I like the dress in the bottom right corner, view a. Love the little bow detail.
7. Sew Serendipity Coat
Option a)
Love the idea of a fun spring trench! I've never made a coat before though...
Option b)
This one would work great for a less busy print.
8. Bags!
Remember when I made this?
Well, I'm planning on making this vintage style bag and an evening vintage style bag to sell on etsy. But first I have to make some! Any thoughts on prints or fabrics you think would be nice?
Hmmmm.... That's an awfully long list..... Maybe I'm a bit crazy.... Plus I still have to take in my Wearing History pants (on my to do list for this weekend!)... and do the faux button dress (which is on hold until I get tracing paper, as it is an uncut vintage pattern and I'm sure someone would kill me if it became un-uncut. Not to mention I'm sure I'll have to add more to the hip area.).
So, yeah, any help in the prioritizing are would be most appreciated! I get terrible decision anxiety over such things.
could you make a tutorial of how to make the one from the notebook?
