next up on the sewing docket

I am following one of my favorite bloggers example (http://jillybejoyful.blogspot.com/)  and I am going to plan my sewing in an organized and grown up manner, which is out of character. Ask anyone who knows me.

I have to do some sewing for my husband's Aunt Edna, she needs camisoles and commercially available ones don't fit well at all. She has narrow sloping shoulders and is not a skinny person. She has cerebral palsy and her left side isn't well developed so it may take some work to make them fit her properly. I am going to use  OOP Kwik Sew 2239 as a starting point. I am going to use the usual lingerie type fabric, nylon tricot. It is what she is used to wearing and I scored a bolt of it at the thrift store.

I need some pajama bottoms, and again copying Jilly, I am going to make them from a normal pants pattern as a wearable muslin, one or all of these patterns, Vogue 1096 by Sandra Betzina, Vogue 8397  by Marcy Tilton, or Vogue 8637 by Marcy Tilton. Something about that last sentence sounds wrong, I can't be bothered to figure out why, but I wanted it to be known that I was aware of it. I have some zebra print cotton flannel and some pink rubber duck cotton flannel. Pictures to follow. Should be cute, no?

I want to try Sham's tablecloth skirt http://communingwithfabric.blogspot.com/, I fully expect that I will look as big as a table in it, which is why I am going to use some perfectly horrible taffeta plaid (emerald green, fuchsia, purple, yellow, gold metallic threads etc) that someone kindly gave me. If I don't want to kill myself after seeing how big I look in it, I have some lovely fabric set aside for it. Again, pictures to follow.

I also have to make the Sorbetto. Maybe out of some turquoise linen I have somewhere.

There now I have committed myself.  To sewing not an institution. Maybe I will actually follow through.
