We had a big conference at church last week and the stage had not been reset for the choir, so there's no choir wardrobe this week. So I will share with you my ridiculousness.
I still have not sewn more than a couple of seams in all of 2017...and I ordered more fabric. Is that optimism, or what?
Because the choir colors for the next two months are pretty much conspicuously absent from my wardrobe. So I ordered a bit...
We have metallic gold and black for March, and mauve/gray/black for April. The sheerish knit on the left has metallic stripes in it and I intend to turn it into a little cardi that caught my fancy in an old Burda magazine. The chevron gold stripe is printed on a scuba knit; I'm pretty sure I'm going to make that ubiquitous McCall's jacket that I've made up a few times, because what else would you do with something so over the top as that? The Dusty Purple on the end might work for the mauve...I haven't seen a sample yet to know if we're talking dark mauve or light mauve. But it's a pretty bamboo that will make a nice top, even if I can't wear it next month. And the black and white stripe because...well...it's classic.
The upside is that these will all be very quick things to sew up. Once I manage to actually get to my sewing machine.
No more fabric in until I've sewn up the 20 yards I bought (or an equivalent in already-stashed-goods, lol). And I mean it. Even if that means I wear the same outfit four Sundays in a row...
Good luck with that. You sound a very busy lady. I find sewing is generally soothing and helps.
