Patterns & Fabrics
So I bought a whole bunch of new patterns and fabrics and am trying to decide which fabric to use with which pattern. SO I thought since a lot of you are talented seamstresses or just very good looking in general, I'd ask you all for advice! Below belong a cut tag you can cast your votes. And for the rest of you I'll just share my favorite pattern, which is a cute lil dressy number:
FABULOUS Fabrics (including approx meter count):
A) Red, Ivory, Navy Plaid (3 meters)
B) Dark Beige Muslin-type (medium weight) Fabric (2.5 meters)
C) Midnight Blue Velveteen (2 meters)
D) Silvery (Metallic) Light Weight Cotton (4 meters)
E) Dark Grey Knit With Turquoise Lantern Print (3 meters)
F) Black & Dark Silver Metallic Satin (2 meters)
G) Retro Purple & Red Wool (3 meters)
H) Embroidered Lavender / Grey Cotton
I) Adorably Ugly Blue, Brown & White Cotton Print
PRETTY Patterns:
1) Historic Corset & Nightgown
2) Sleeveless & Bell Sleeve Tees
3) Styled "Twist" Dress
4) Loose Pullover
5) Summer Dresses (Mix n' Match tops and bottoms)
6) Spring Dresses
7) Button Up Shirts
8) Baby Doll Tees
9) Scrunch Tees
10) Classic Knee-Length Skirt
11) Retro Glamour Dress
12) Scrunched Modern Fit Dresses & Shirt
13) Geometric Cut Shirt & Dress
14) Shirt, Dress, Shorts, Pants, & Tee Ensemble
15) Classic "Picnic" Wrap Dress
16) Autumn Sports Coat
17) Wrap Fashion Trench
My thoughts at the moment:
A - 2 (the ruffled one), 5 (the second or third one) 10, 11, or 12
B - 1 (gown) or 10
C - I had originally planned to do a high-waist pencil skirt with this, but am not sure how hard that'd be without a pattern.
D - I wanted to do some kind of futuristic dress with this, but couldn't find a pattern for that either. Maybe I can use the dress from 14 as a template. It would also make a nice skirt.
E - 3 (the sleeveless dress or maybe the sleeved version.. not sure)
F - Also wanted to do a high-waist pencil skirt but I just I could settle for the skirt in #10.
G - Wanted to do some kind of retro coat thing but have yet to find the pattern for it. I think the coat in #14 would be nice. Or maybe a dress or skirt?
H - Was definitely thinking this would be a cute #10 skirt, but am open to other ideas. Maybe one of the summer dresses would be nice.
I - Am absolutely clueless on this one. I wanted to make a button down 50s style dress out of it but couldn't find the right pattern. Also, I'm not sure if there's enough fabric but if so maybe one of the dresses in #15? Not sure which.
Thanks kiddies!
