The Great Fabric Sew-Down of 2022

I have a ridiculous amount of fabric for someone that has been scared to death of sewing for the last 40 years.  I have store-bought fabric, sheets, curtains, and upcycled fabric from outgrown or damaged clothing.  I can’t seem to get rid of any fabric if I think I could use it for something.  After I posted my dream sewing, last month, I did a quick inventory of my available fabric.  I also reorganized my patterns and got an idea for some pairings.  I have decided to complete the pairings, and not just muse about them.  My intention is to pull out a few selections of fabric and coordinating patterns and sew them.  I am NOT trying to match every fabric I have.  I want to start small and work my way up.   I want my dream sewing to become wearable garments.  A reason that I selected these is because I already have everything that I need to complete these.  No, scratch that, I need a zipper for the overalls.  I want to have them all cut out and ready to go by the end of the month.  I also want to complete 2 of them in that time.  Wish me luck!

  1. Cotton flannel jammie pants for Feebs

Pink jersey t-shirt for Feebs- using twin sized fitted jersey sheet

Summer skirt for me- using stripped seersucker fabric

Light weight overalls for me- using cotton/ linen blend curtains (this will need to be dyed, probably khaki green)

Loves,

M

P.S., in case you are wondering, no, I did NOT sew the white denim skirt.  I am ashamed to report this, but the mojo just wasn’t there.   I will figure out my life at some point, and the skirt will eventually be made.
