I've not done much sewing recently - I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with both fabric and ideas and the result is total inertia.
Total brain dump here to get it out of my head.. feel free not to read 🤣
I'm trying to stop myself from making a zillion siroccos (anyone who has seen my Insta knows when I like a pattern I make lots of them!)
I stuck between needing a proper challenge like another coat or jacket. I have many to choose from.
I've got some lovely mustard yellow suiting fabric that was originally bought to be wilmslow / Tania culottes but now might get made into a sirocco. I also have some dashwood jersey that may also become a sirocco. I've laid it out a few times to cut and then chickened out.
can I even pull off a bright yellow jumpsuit?
I'm still obsessing over the Arthur trousers and want to make them in a very specific shade of 'caper' green that I can't find the right fabric for.
I have some lovely silky blue ramie I feel I should do something special/ vogue with but the practical part of me just wants to turn them into a mother Zadie which will get worn billions of times.
sitting on the table in front of me is the uncut Forget Me Not Adeline blouse pattern. I could cut it out but it's lots of pleats and with the children at home for the next 14 days I can see it going wonky and getting disheartened with it. I have some black linen for it, but also some dark green atelier brunette cotton gauze with sparkly bits in it.
I'm in desperate need of a couple of pairs of wide leg dark trousers. Perhaps a few pinafore dresses and I still need those culottes.
there's a 40% Minerva sale on dead stock which I'm trying to ignore but have about 5 things in my basket.
Or I could just eat a donut and got to bed because decisions are too hard.
