Fall Sewing Plans 2024
I have slowed down quite a bit when it comes to sewing this past summer. I did quite a bit of sewing before I went on vacation and after that I have taken a break from it all. I made around 10 garments in one week right before vacation and I wanted a break from it all. Decided to focus on the kids right before school started and also have been clamping down on buying new fabric, which so far I can say I have been really good!!!!
Anyhow, I thought I would do a fall sewing plan so you get an idea as to where I’m hoping to accomplish in the next couple of months. I have been really hyper focused on making things that I will actually wear more than once and are functional to my every day life.
So here is what I’m hoping to make, also hoping to work on sew alongs for all of these in case you want to get in on the fun!
Lodo Dress from True Bias with Ponte Knit in Wine color from Fabric Warehouse Direct.
Wine Ponte De Roma Fabric from Fabric Warehouse Direct
2. Merchant and Mills - Ottoline Jacket with Satin Stretch Indigo Denim (8 oz) I’ve had this pattern for a while and these two garments will make really nice transitional pieces from summer to fall.
Satin Stretch Denim 8.5 oz
3. Donna Cardigan from FiberMood - Everything is leopard these days at least for fall, and many call it a neutral so might as well get in on the bandwagon because I can wear it with quite a few things. This is a ponte and it has been part of my stash for quite some time, so it’s time to use it. I got it from Vogue Fabrics but they sell a lot of deadstock fabric so I’m sorry I don’t have a fabric link for you!
Leopard Print Knit.- I think it is a very light weight ponte! But don't quote me on that.
4. Lander Pants with the Zipper Expansion from True Bias. They now have an extended version so I thought it would be fun to make a pair in corduroy as I donated my last pair (it was too big.. woo hoo!). Fabric is from Style Makers Fabric and it is now sold out as it is a year old! But I’m sure you can find corduroy anywhere.
Needlecord Stretch Corduroy
5. Fall viscose fabric from Art Gallery Fabrics - here is another one that has been on my stash waiting for the day I make it. I got it from Style Maker Fabrics white some time ago… almost TWO years ago. I need your help on which one we will do for a sew along.
What do you think? Do we make the new V2044 or V9100? I'm leaning towards the V9100 as I know I would wear it a lot more with a sweater over it, with that Ottoline Jacket or perhaps on its own.
