Sewing Plans for Fall 2023
Click on the image above for a link to my YouTube Sewing Plans video.
After making the Aster Dress from True Bias I was feeling a little bit burned out from making adjustments and making muslins. My daughter needed a dress for a wedding she was attending so I decided to focus on that, I made a dress using the Donny Shirt Pattern with a hack! It looked beautiful on my daughter. So now looking into fall and what I need while using the patterns and fabrics I have in my stash because hello inflation. I have some great fabrics and some wonderful patterns so I thought perhaps now is the time to make use of all of that.
Starting out with a beautiful Sweatshirt Fleece from Style Maker Fabrics. I’m using JALIE 2795 Zip up jacket. I got the fabric and a little bit of teal twill tape to add around the collar.
Making a fall field jacket with a lightweight plum stretch twill fabric. I will be using Vogue 1966. It is a reproduction from an older pattern. The instructions are the older instructions which is always fun to look at, the pattern is only lined in the front and back yokes along with the sleeves. Everything else is unlined. I may just line this entire jacket and add a pretty trim that I got from Style Maker Fabrics for a little extra fun on the inside.
3. My daughter had seen an ad for Asos for a pair of twill cargo pants. So I was able to get this beautiful light green no stretch twill fabric from Vogue Fabrics. It will be perfect for what we are trying to recreate. We will have to wash it a few times to get that worn fabric look but I’m sure that will happen in no time!
4. Isle Jeans from Chalk and Notch - If you haven’t been to Vogue Fabrics I highly recommend you do. Amongst all the fabric which can be overwhelming at times you can find some beautiful denim fabric at a great price. I’m making the Isle Jeans from Chalk and Notch. I’ve had this pattern now for quite a few months. it’s time to make it. If you don’t have this pattern it is now available in a printed pattern and the sizing goes up to size 30.
5. Knit Dress for fall, I always make one and I decided to dust some of those out of print patterns and find one that will work well with this teal knit fabric from Mood that has been in my stash for quite some time.
