Now I really really REALLY want to make these:

Like, I want to make them SO MUCH I am having a very hard time restraining my Paypal finger. My only line of defence is the idea that I should go and try on some RTW boyfriend jeans first to see if I like them as much as I
I also found these:
A bit like this, thank you Pinterest:

Sadly, I think we all know what happens to projects planned like this. Or at least, I know what happens in my case. They go on the end of a long list of projects conceived in a very similar manner that have yet to be executed but, crucially, ARE ALREADY IN MY STASH. Plaid flannel Archer? Up next, I promise! Zinnia skirt in oversized gingham? Yes yes - and another in mustard-coloured linen! Leggings, batwings, Renfrews - I'll have them all done before summer hits (somewhere in late May, no?), just in time for the sloppy jeans and tees!
Right??
So yeah, I'm holding back for the moment. I just had to tell someone who would understand :-)
Now, back to work...
Oh no, Jo, not the bird prints! Don't show me the bird print!! Hide them , quickly … ooops … too late. *sigh* Unfortunately, my self regulation on fabric purchases has yet to kick in. I bow to your powers of reason and your incredible self fabric policing and am happy to become a fully paid up member of the "the laws of time have no meaning here" sewing club. I have a feeling we could be very popular!
ReplyDeleteArgh I clicked on the Prada fabric and now I'm in love!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog via Sewcialist and THIS. IS. ME! The wardrobe in my closet is nothing compared to the "wardrobe" in my fabric stash. But anyway, enough from me, I have to get myself some of that bird jersey...
ReplyDeleteWe need Tardis - like sewing rooms! So we could spend all those (wo)man hoirs sewing and it'd only be 2 hours later in real life. That'd work, wouldn't it?
ReplyDeleteSorry :-)
ReplyDeleteYES exactly! It's not a stash it's a wardrobe in progress!
ReplyDeleteMy thinking and planning sewing projects when it's quiet at work reads in my head exactly like this! Enjoyed your post and I do hope to see the boyfriend jeans made up one day! Fabric Godmother is also my fave fabric website-she adds such great descriptions and extra pics compared to others!
ReplyDeleteQuiet moments at the office are dangerous, I am waiting for a chandelier to be delivered :)
ReplyDeleteTell me you bought that pattern because I'm already picturing you in those jeans and your hoody!
ReplyDeleteyes, it's a really nice site! I try to avoid going there too often though, because I have no self control :-)
ReplyDeleteooh! Good use of time I say!
ReplyDeleteI might have done ... :-) and am picturing myself in them with EVERYTHING!
