Fall Essentials Sew Along: FESA

Sarah over at Rhinestones and Telephones is hosting the Fall Essentials Sew Along (FESA).  I am joining in!

The categories are:

1.  Fashionable Foundations for Frosty Weather : bottoms, trousers, skirts, jeans, etc
2.  Chic Chemises for Cool Climates: blouses, tops, cardigans, sweaters
3.  Fabulous Frocks: any type of dress
4.  Underneath It All: underwear, bra
5.  Tender Tootsies (no plans to make socks)
6.  Those Cozy Nights: pajamas
7.  Baby It's Cold Outside:  Outerwear, hats, mittens

Here are my plans so far:

Tops:

• The green Jalie 2566 cardigan didn't come out wonderfully so I have been procrastinating writing about it. 
• The white Butterick 5354, is complete, and I got a coffee stain on it the first time I wore it...arrgh! 
• The Kwik Sew 3555 is compete with the exception of sewing buttons on. 
• I may also make a long sleeve tee shirt or two using the top portion of the Lady Skater Dress. 

Bottoms:

• The Marrakesh pants are finished and just awaiting their blog post.
• I have some caramel colored twill that may become the Thurlows,
• I have some gray denim that will become a new pair of Jalie 2908 jeans.
• Skirt fabric is undecided

Coats/Jacket:

Ah coats...I love coats!  There are too many coats and too little time.  I may begin with the McCall's 6800 in a beige & gray coating fabric.  I have ordered some navy wool suiting for the Vogue 8333.  That one will be a labor of love for sure. 

 

Remaining Categories:



• I will make some pajama bottoms with some bright green jersey knit that has been sitting in my stash for a while. 
• I probably won't make any dresses. 
• I won't make socks.
• Bras or underwear....maybe.  I have been wanting to learn to make bras for a while now.  I may get around to it.

So there it is!  My big FESA plans :)
