Summer Sewing Plans

I'm already thinking of summer sewing! While I've been on a 40s kick pretty much all of 2015 so far, the warmer weather has brought out my 50s side! Or maybe it's just the bob hair cut. Either way, I'm planning some cute midcentury additions to my wardrobe this summer.


I'm in desperate need of some new shorts! I have one pair of rtw shorts but the two pair of me made shorts need to be replaced. One pair is too big and the other is getting kind of sad looking. So I'll be making a new pair of high waisted sorts from this Wearing History pattern.


My wardrobe is in desperate need of a basic black blouse so I'm going to make one from this pattern. I also need to replace my basic white blouse. The one I have wrinkles if you even look at it so I hardly ever wear it.


I also want to make at least one dress. I've got my eye on this pattern from the stash. I just adore the pockets and it looks easy and comfortable for summer. Also, love their hair!

I've also had to retire one of my circle skirts so I think I may replace it as well. I adore a great basic.

What are you planning on sewing for your summer wardrobe?

    Absolutely lovely patterns one and all. The nautical inspired playsuit in particular is making me swoon! :)

    Wonderful -- I have the Wearing History pattern up on my "to do" too -- can't wait to see yours! I was thinking seersucker (grey stripe).

    I can't wait to see how the blouse turns out! I haven't had a lot of time lately, but I really want to finish up a skirt and make a few sun dresses to have ready when the warmer weather hits.

    I just adore the first pattern. I love me some good ol' nautical inspired outfits.Too bad it's going into winter here!

    I think some of these would qualify as 1940s too :) I need to get sewing... But I have a thesis to write too...

    I have to work on shorts, too. I made a couple pairs for vacation, but one raveled like crazy after I washed it (I DID pre-wash the fabric even! Ridiculous!), so I may need to sew up a replacement pair. I need some basic shirts, too. A black button down I made attracts all the lint in a 50 mile radius, which makes it a little impractical...

    I just bought a whole lot of blue linen to make the Wearing History pattern. I love the idea of vintage + nautical theme for summer.
