Some Fall Sewing Plans - Video


I'll admit it, I have tons more sewing planned for this fall, but these are the projects I will be diving into first. I've got some more fabrics laying about that have been waiting to become clothes for a while now, but if I talked about each and every fabric this video would have been hours long!

I've actually lost some of my energy for sewing currently, I really wish I could snap my fingers and projects would magically materialize without me having to do all the work! That's my impatience talking I suppose, there are only two options in these situations- either push through and sew anyways or take a break. Yesterday I decided to take a break, and today I feel ready to start sewing again. For any of you seamstresses out there, what do you do when your brain tries to decide there will be no sewing that day?

  2. Whenever I feel bad about my stash (and uh it's def bad how huge it is...) I remember about a woman I knew who had a second house that was basically a warehouse of stash fabric. And she never used it! If she was working on a project, she bought something new. So - as long as I'm not as bad as her, I'm doing ok :P

    I love fall sewing too - I'm planning two wool dresses from stash - indigo crepe and violet suiting. Watching all of the wool start rolling in is the best part of the change in season :)

    1. it could always be worse I suppose! Indigo crepe and violet suiting both sound pretty gorgeous, sounds fun!

  3. I just had a major clean out of everything I own, and got rid of a large bin bags worth of fabrics. I still have 3 large chest of drawers stuffed to the brim, but at least now I know what I have. I find it especially hard to pass up a good suiting fabric. I sew my own trousers and I probably have enough fabrics to keep me in trousers for the next 5 years or so, if I aim at 2 pairs a year. Oh well, at least I don't smoke or drink ;)

    1. Good suiting is the best, I love suits so I am all about nice suiting fabric. One day I have to take some proper tailoring lessons!

  4. I have a huge stash.. although a lot of it is scraps of fancy fabrics and quilter's cottons for crazy quilting and art quilting, so my apparel stash isn't quite as bad as it looks. I am dying to start sewing, but my sewing machine is crap and I don't want to subject my precious wools and rayons to that thing!

    1. I always tell myself it's okay to save small pieces in case I ever make a crazy quilt, but the odds are slim! I have never quilted before and I don't even have enough time for all the projects I already have ;)

  5. I enjoyed getting a glimpse of what will be coming up in your wardrobe. Some great plans. I especially liked the dark florals and that aubergine and gold brocade. If it makes you feel better I have both a fabric stash and a yarn stash, both of which could do with reducing!

    1. Thanks Kate-Em! I love aubergine, I even went back to my dark purple hair, I just love the color! I have some yarn in my stash and I can't even knit very well yet ;)
