February Already?

Seriously, I feel like we just celebrated New Year’s, but we’re already a few days into February!

I didn’t get everything done that I hoped to in January, but I got two out of three garments completed (and one half ass completed and subsequently trashed that we shall not speak of).  The plan for this month is:  comfort.

Yes, it’s currently 18 degrees and snowing, and all I really want is to be warm…unfortunately, pretty or sultry little dresses will not fit that need.  Shit, I would’ve hibernated for the Winter if it were an option.

Here’s the optimistic sewing forecast for this month:

McCall’s 6612

VIEW D!  With 3/4 sleeves.  I shall not be defeated. In a light weight dark blue sweater knit.

Simplicity 2246

The Lisette Traveler dress. It WILL happen this month.

In red and black flannel (left)

McCall’s 6513

Been meaning to make this for years! Still deciding between a sweater knit and jersey.  I really want it to be sweater-like, but fear there won’t be the appropriate amount of stretch for the top to really shine.

I FINALLY got around to buying this pattern yesterday from Pink Chalk Fabrics.  It’s about time!  I live in T shirts.

So, two dresses and two shirts.  I think it’s doable, but we’ll see what happens!  You never know when a spastic sometimes sewist is going to get distracted…
