On My Sewing Table: March

February was the month of I don't want to sew anything. In my defense, life was pretty crazy so I just decided to take a break from sewing. But now my sewing mojo is back! I had a sewing stay-cation this weekend while my hubby was out of town on a business trip. (He also took all of the cameras with him so you'll have to deal with iPhone photos.) Here's what I was working on.


I finally finished my Wearing History 1930s beach pjs! Now to wear them to the beach.


I also finished the jacket for my 40s suit for the 40s Fashion Calendar project. I'm behind on February's task but at least my suit will be ready!


I also started Sense and Sensibility Pattern's 1940s Swing Dress. I made it way, way back in 2011. It didn't go so well but I've learned a lot since then and this version is going much better.


 I also started working on my Borgia dress! I've done a bit of embroidery and have been playing around with pearling options. And I bought some more pearls finally so I can start putting them on for real.


 I've been pondering Spring/Summer sewing plans (since that's coming up for the Wardrobe Architect project) but haven't made any final plans yet. These are just a few patterns that popped out at me as possibilities.

    Hello there.
    I like your sewing table.
    Mine is non-existant (I pull the machine out when I decide to work - that's called "lack of space").. and these days I'm sure I'll be reconstructing a skirt for spring.

    You have some beautiful projects going, Stephanie! I can't wait to see the S&S 1940s dress! In fact, I can't wait to see all of the garments!! :)

    Wow! So many beautiful new garments :) I am quite excited to see your beach pajamas - I plan on making a pair for myself this year.

    I'm excited to see the beach pajamas too! I have the original pattern from the 1930s but have never made it.
