updating the plans
Jan. 28th, 2011 10:36 amI feel like refreshing my project list, even though there aren't too many changes. Mostly I am firming up some of my ideas - moving them from 'maybe' to 'definitely' and adding vague deadlines. It's looking like I will actually have a couple opportunities to wear costume this year!
In process
Spring quilt - I am still waffling over fabric choices. I have two possible background fabrics and I am going to make one block with each to see if I like either. I am becoming less and less excited about this. I am not sure how I ended up with this quilt plan. It was probably a mistake to start with a pattern instead of a fabric, but I still want to make this. Want to finish by April.
Whisper cardigan - I finished one sleeve. The sweater is sized by the back measurement, but even the smallest size seemed too big to me. Either I am measuring wrong or there's just way more positive ease than I like. I'm just going to try it on as I go. Want it done by April/May.
Coming up
Victorian Day dresses - The details on these are getting narrowed down, finally. I don't want to do F's too soon, though, for fear it may not fit her any more by the event. So probably March/April for mine, May for hers.
Modern spring/summer stuff - A couple dresses, hats, a couple shirts, skirts, maybe some pants. I should probably make some of these in advance of the season just to get them out of the way, but won't need them until May/June.
Ren Fest costumes - My orange dress still works, but HB and F need something. I'd like a new hat for me, and a white cap. Maybe a new shift. For September.
18th century something for everybody - It's looking about 70% likely we will be timing family travel with a costume event this fall. HB has the linen suit, but I'd like to make him something different. I have my riding habit, but I'd really like a printed gown. And F has nothing. Need them by November.
Oh, and knitting, too
Basic pullover - I want to use some yummy Spud & Chloe yarn in a plain pullover for me. Whenever.
Hubby sweater - He wears his Retrograde every day. Seriously. The man needs more sweaters! Hopefully by next December.
I spend so much time sitting in nervous indecision with projects. I really need to try to maximize my time and do less worrying, more sewing!
