Sue's Sewing and Happenings

What's on the sewing radar

here's what is on the cutting table   Vogue 8491, a dress and jacket.  I was just going to make the jacket, but I also have enough to make the dress.  It's a little too "dressed up" for what I would wear to work, but oh so cute, I couldn't resist.  and the dress would look great as a jumper.   The fabric is a nice wool silk.  http://www.voguepatterns.com/item/V8491.htm?search=8491&page=1

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next is Vogue 2923 a DKNY jacket and top.  The jacket fabric, is the print and is a cotton with lycra, the  solid is a soft mystery, maybe silk, and these match perfectly.  http://www.voguepatterns.com/item/V2923.htm?search=dkny&page=2

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next is Vogue 2850, the center illustration from dotted swiss I purchased from Vogue fabrics earlier this summer.  I have made this version before out of an onionskin (mesh knit) and it came out nice.  This one may be the first on my list.  I was thinking of rolled edges, using serger for this....

Lastly is pants from the pattern from the pants fitting class I took this summer. (that is a tongue twister)  This fabric is a nice heather grey double knit (not your mama's double knit... I hope).  

 

 

 

 

But, before all this gets sewn, I'm heading up to the mountains to visit my parents for a day or 2.  Adios
