Autumn Inspirations


Forgive my lack of attention to my blog, I've been real busy the past two weeks with starting a new job, due that fact I haven't had time to review a dress lately.  However, as I was sitting here unwinding after work, I began to think about possible Fall sewing projects when the thought comes to me 'why not share my musing?'.


So without further ado, here are my current 'want-to-sew' patterns for Fall 2014:



Butterick 5030:







Simple woven wrap pattern that I would like make with a tan/gold poplin fabric.  This would be a nice wardrobe building dress that could be easily dressed up/down depending on the occasion.





Vogue 8825:






I've posted about the dress before, this time however I think I have the right fabric and courage to make it.  Let's hope to my success.....................




Simplicity 2229:




Every year I like to add at least one new suit to my collection, this year I've focused my attention on this particular pattern.  My desire is to make it in black, that way I can wear an endless variety of blouse that will be well 'suited'.




Vogue 1404 The Ralph Rucci:




The neck line is not my first choice, however the attention to detail makes for a nice challenge and a skill building opportunity.





And last but not least B5966:






This coat has been a thorn in my flesh, why do you ask?  Because although I have cut it out and even wrote a post on how to line the fabric (different from lining), I've still yet to put it all together. Hopefully this will be the fall that I pull it together.



These are just a few of the things that I have sitting by the cutting table, if I plan well and pace myself I hope to review them all for you in the near future. Until then remember every stitch matters.
