On my sewing table, at the moment, is a white denim cut out that needs to be sewn into a Butterick B5466 skirt. I have had this cut out for at least a year. It has been moved around my sewing space no less than 7 times. Last weekend I pulled everything out, bought the appropriate thread, and it is just lying there waiting for me to sew it. This skirt must be completed before anything else is pulled out and cut. I will NOT be defeated by this denim skirt. I will wear the hell out it (if it comes out half-way decent) once it is completed. I just need to get off the schtick and do it.
However,…. Just because I can’t cut out something new and fancy, doesn’t mean that I can’t start dreaming and planning for new sewing projects. In fact, I have several pairings already in my head. Two of the dream projects will require a toile, which I will hopefully make into wearable toiles. Because the toiles will be made from an Ikea baby pink bedsheet set, there will also be some fabric dying involved. For the most part, I have the necessary supplies for these projects.
