I am really trying to wrap up my unfinished projects and sew new stuff as well. I have a lot of patterns that are completely cut that I haven't worked on yet. I chose two patterns that I cut out probably 6 months ago or maybe even longer, to start working on today. I was going to make Simplicity 9630 (views A & F) last summer. The fabric that I am using is a lavender linen mix. I think that Simplicity 9630 will mix well with
Vogue 2817 that I also cut out in a black linen for last summer, but never made. I will use both of them for my Spring/Summer wardrobe. My second unfinished project is a dress. I actually don't remember what possessed me to cut out Simplicity 5049 (view B) in a silver/grey crepe back satin of all things, but I am going to finish both of them to free up some of my sewing pins. If I don't like the dress then I will turn it into a top. I have had the patterns so long that both of them are out of print now.
I really did not get as much done this weekend as I wanted to, but I did progress. I finished my Simplicity dress minus the hem. However I still have much to do on my Simplicity suit. I still need to add a zipper, the waistband to the pants and hem them. Then I need to add the lining to the jacket, make the belt, add the collar and facing and then hem the sleeves and bottom of the jacket. My goal is to wrap it up this week so I can start sewing my Mom's pieces and my BWOF blouse. Wish me luck.
