Ok its October, its nearing Halloween in fact. I have not formally set up my craft/sewing room, But i do have access to my sewing machine.
I'm having that urge to sew something, fabulous and delicious. I was browsing some patterns through Vogue and found this lovely. I like the style of the color blocking and that it really accents the waist. It's sleeveless which seems to be my favorite kind of dress. It's not that I have attractive arms, its that I can wear a light sweater or jacket as needed. I always feel constricted in tailored long sleeve garments. ugh. but this does make me want to buy the pattern and try it out. This is Vogue V1329. I'm craving a new coat as well but can't decide whether I want to try making one or go through the purchase process. Because its complicated and I can't find the fabrics I would prefer, I will probably go purchase one. My last anorak coat I bought was 20 years ago. I didn't realize so much time passed. I wear it a lot in winter, and it had a lovely fleece lining, with lightweight filling, but its definitely looking its 20 years these days. I purchased it right after my daughter was born. I bought it a size big so I could wrap her inside of it with me, when she was in a sling.
Its now like 3 sizes to big, but in some ways that makes it uber comfortable.
So before I can take this on, I must first attack my friends footstool. It will be a pretty easy project, and needs a new cover made for it. But that's incentive to move on to something else.
Are you ready for Halloween? I kinda am. I want to put out my decorations tomorrow which is late for me, but hey its before the day its self right? Also the majority of my decorations fall under the category of FALL decorations not only Halloween so they will carry me through Thanksgiving. So this weekend, has 2 goals, hang my art which has been in boxes since moving, and seasonal decorations.
