Planning
Sometimes future sewing is more gripping than current sewing. Like today, when I'm up to the collar stage on McCalls 6898 but windowshopping on the net instead. I started with seeing this, Chocolat's Staple Skirt : I like it a lot. Two problems: 1. I would get tomato sauce on that colour before the first day of wear was over. 2. $327 is a lot of money. So I go looking for patterns to make my own, I have nothing to wear with this, and no fabric that is suitable. But that should not always be an impediment. I look at Vogue 8499 and Vogue 8975 and I see this version of V8975 and it seems I could be back in dress land again: I'm not sure I can make the dress in fabric as soft as the Chocolat one appears. Maybe I have to chop it off at the waist and put a wide elastic band in.
