Silk Blouse Oooh la la!

Wow been a really fruitful couple of days. Yeah! I managed to get two shirts done this week. The Silk Blouse: I wanted to complete this last year but was so fearful of messing up the fabric. Wow I am so pleased with the results. I even finished the Silk Blouse with French seams.

Thinking about what to do next week!?

The Green Wedding Guest Dress
The Cool Summer Dress




The Blue Longing Dress

Black Jacket Makes a Suit

Well, there has to be a starting point for this years challenge, and for me it will start with inventory. What do I have that I can cross of my list of what to make for this "essential" wardrobe? I looked and realized I made quite a few things (above are some of the best dresses I made), but not too many fit into the essential wardrobe category.

The Green Wedding Guest
The Cool Summer Dress
The Blue Longing Dress

The "Black Jacket Makes a Suit" with 3/4 length sleeves. Well that leaves several useful items for me to sew this year.

First item to tackle will be:   Silk Blouse

Reboot

My #1 goal this is to be more consistent. Many times I go the way of a sparkler, this year I am going the way of a burning ember. I want to keep burning no matter what sometimes high and other times I may smolder but the ultimate goal is to still keep burning. So, I am still on the prowl for making this wardrobe. Making the wardrobe by sewing almost all the item I possibly can.
