Projects Waiting For Me In Stash

NOTE TO SELF: There will always be more fabric. Buying more fabric keeps me from doing projects I love.

Strikethrough means project is completed! Parentheses is serger color to help me plan sequence.

1. Mustard wool crepe side pleat dress (yellow)

2. For the awesome black and pink houndstooth wool I bought in New York a couple of months ago, another 80s throwback of Butterick 5520. With a peplum--lined in pink satin--and long sleeves, this will be an office power dress for days when I need a little drama in my life.

3. Red, white, and blue floral swiss dot Vintage 1973 blouse (white)

4. Vogue wrap/drape dress of Turkey turquoise and black rayon (black)

5. Silk organza plaid pleated skirt

6. Black/pink batik vintage dress

7. I spent about four months last year obsessed with Vogue 8633 but couldn't find just the right fabric for it. I found it in Montreal, but didn't get a chance to make it before it got too cold for short sleeves (though I could probably wear my ubiquitous black Burda turtleneck under it).

8. Anna Sui black/pink/turquoise silk tank.

9. Blue/orange paisley shirtdress. (light blue)

10. For the double-sided acetate polka dot fabric I bought at London Textile Warehouse at PR Weekend Philly, this Butterick 5451 wide-collared wrap dress. The body and undercolor will be cut with the light colored fabric as the right side, and the upper collar and tie with the dark colored fabric. I will add sleeves.

11. Purple silk/cotton pleat front Burda blouse (purple)

12. Vintage green/cream from Debois Textiles boatneck princess seam Burda 05-2011-108 dress (off white/cream)

13. Paris white/blue embroidered shirtdress. (white)



14. Simplicity 2360 with the flutter sleeves out of the silky green and white circle print I bought in Spain while hanging out with Paco. I keep seeing this pattern made on PR and am getting so impatient for Spring!!!

15. Vietnam silk Rachel Comey knot blouse. (cream)

16. Yellow eyelet shirtdress.

17. Butterick 5490 out of the bandana print fabric I haven't been able to decide on a pattern for, although I may possibly make this pattern out of the colorful wheel fabric seen in the same photo as the pink and black houndstooth wool above. By the way, why didn't I buy like 100 yards of that orange silk chrysanthemum fabric? I made a dress out of it this summer (one of my many unreviewed projects) and really wish I had some more.
