On the to-do list

January 23, 2012

Due to an active weekend of activities, parties and traveling…I didn’t get a chance (or energy!) to get anything sewn.

Currently, this is a work in process on my sewing table.  I will have to rip it all apart or start over with new fabric as the zipper and sides aren’t meeting up right.  I hope to have time to redo it this week.

Then this is what is on the docket for future projects…

I am going to try to remake this dress from Chasing Fireflies.  This lovely pile of chiffon, lycra nylon, silk and embroidered sheer will become a dress for our little princess.  I am thinking this will be her annual fancy birthday dress…so no hurry on this one.  I have until May. 😉

This is going to become a ruffled bikini, inspired by this one, only with my pattern that has more covering.

This is going to become a pillowcase dress, inspired by this one. I have never made a pillowcase dress before, though I see them around a lot.  The lace will be lined with a lycra nylon fabric, so it will be quite comfy to wear.

These sparkly bits of stretch chiffon will become skorts for Anya.  I’m planning on doing something like this, which she already has in her closet from last year.

Then this will be another fabric filled cushion for the little man.  It is a thick, suede-like material.

That is all in no particular order, of course.  I am hoping to get summer stuff done before landscaping season begins, since my time to sew goes down to zero at that point.  Anya will get more skorts this year with matching tops.   Kai has a bunch of t-shirts, so I think he will only need maybe a few pair of shorts.  Hopefully, I won’t have to sew too much of a summer wardrobe for them.

If only there were more hours in the day.  🙂

  1. You can get more hours…I passed a billboard advertising 25 hour days. Is that like turning your amps up to 11?

  2. Oh, Brian…so, so funny!
    At least you have your to-do list down on paper…computer. I sometimes think that is half the battle!!
    I can’t wait to see the Chasing Fireflies knock-off! I’ve loved that dress for awhile, now!

  3. When I look at your lists and your speed of production I just feel like giving up completely :-)..You are awesome. Persevere with the bag though. It’s going to be so cute!

  4. Wow, awesome weblog layout! How long have you been running
    a blog for? you made running a blog glance easy.
    The full look of your site is fantastic, let alone the content!
