Sewing Plans for July and August

Trying to not bite more than I can chew these days because I want to enjoy the summer and be outdoors because as soon as Labor Day hits the weather turns into fall weather overnight and it will be full blown sewing time.

So these are my sewing plans for the month of July and August

Dani Shorts from True Bias. I found some gabardine around here so making another pair. I suspect soon enough I will have to make a pair of long Dani pants for the fall. Its already cut and notions are ready to go. Using some leftover linen and cotton blend fabric from Modes4U along with Gabardine from Joann’s.

M8104 - aka “Dawn” McCalls, Some people love it, others not so much on Sewing Pattern Review. It’s somewhat of a hit or miss on this pattern for McCalls so I’m going to try it with some fabric I have in my stash. Its a Telio Rayon that I purchased from Melanated Fabrics.

Ginger Jeans from Closet Core - Let’s see if I follow thru on this one, I’ve been meaning to make these now for months. MONTHS! This is the month to follow thru with it and make myself a pair of skinny jeans with a bootcut option. The stretch Denim fabric is now sold out. But its a Telio Organic Cotton 9.5 oz with enough stretch for this pair.

The Fira Dress from Liesel and Co - Here I am thinking this is going to be a slam dunk but I’ve seen good and bad reviews on this one. I may even have to do a toile for it. But I found this Olive Linen Blend at Joann’s at a great price so I’m going to try it.

Further down the road if I get to it….

M5894 McCalls- Jeans using the Palmer Pletsch pattern. This pattern has been reissued under Butterick. It is now B6840. I found some 10 ounce jeans fabric at Vogue Fabrics at a great price. Actually all their denim fabrics are at an amazing price, I need to go back there and buy some more.
