current projects

(Whenever I don't post for a while, I always seem to cram all my ideas about unrelated stuff into one entry.  I should probably try to not do that.)

This week I finished my new summer skirts, which is not much of a feat, since they each took about 1 hour. But still, 3 cute new skirts, yay! I went thrift shopping and found a couple more elastic and drawstring skirts and a few maternity shirts so now I am feeling more prepared for becoming, um, larger.

I'm putting off sewing new shirts until May or June because I won't need them until then.

I ordered hats today from Jas. Townsend and I can hardly wait for them to arrive!

I want to take advantage of this week's Jo-Ann sale to look for linen for my man's new suit.

The next couple months' sewing agenda:

• Jeans: I re-drafted the pattern with cut and fit changes and fitted a mock-up.  I plan to just make one pair at first to make sure it works (because denim is just too different from muslin), then I can move on to the other 4 or so that I have the fabric for.
• Knit dresses: I have two fabrics for new knit dresses.  I checked Sewing With Knits out from the library and hopefully it will help giude me in sewing knits without a serger.
• 18th c suit for husband
• Chemise dress

After that, I have plans for some shirts, more knitting, and a few tiny quilts.
