things i hope to sew soon...

So, over the past few weeks...

I have made 13 dinosaur tails.
Done monster patching on The Gherkin's jeans.
Made a cover/holder for my ergo baby carrier.
Finished replacement seatbelt covers for the kids' carseats (and in cute fabrics too - have to take some pics).

Now, it's time for some sewing for me. Here's a glimpse of some of the inspiring projects catching my attention at the moment:

by sloppop YEAH - have a lovely rose-coloured corduroy...

burdastyle casual dress 05 2012 pattern - in a wool or sweatshirt fabric?

 

marimekko MANTU - no words, really. lovely.

 nani-iro - I just know how good this would feel in one of our highland winters..
I may be able to refashion something opped/thrifted into something like this?

Now I just have to decide what's first on the list! What would you choose first? I have a whole pinterest board dedicated to sewing for me, which I rarely get to - I think I have done well to narrow it down to four projects!

Those of you in the southern hemisphere - what's on your sewing list for the cold months ahead?
And those of you seasons ahead, what was your go-to wear for your winter just passed?

I would love to beg, borrow and steal your great ideas!

Chat soon! xx

 

 

 

what I did last night

What I did last night: cooked dinner, put babies to bed, ate icecream (very important), sewed my little heart out with $2 worth of fabric from one of the very best opshops ever, and today I am wearing a brand new outfit! Yippee!

Oh, and I conquered shoulder pleats , which seemed extremely confusing at the time. I'm very proud of myself! Photos to follow...

ps. what I didn't do: washing up, cleaning, laundry... oops!
