Summer SWAP



My summer SWAP is lying on the guest bed uncut and feeling sorry for itself. I have been struggling with the sleeveless top and it lies draped over my sewing machine. I have to cut another arm facing for it before I can finish it. Hopefully I can do that over the long weekend and put it onto a hanger to wear to school. It is not my favourite piece but I did learn a lot about Jalie patterns doing this top.

I need to order two patterns from Timmel Fabrics so I can make pants and a vest for winter. If I want to, I can make the jacket that comes with the vest pattern. That will help me make this wardrobe which will be moving from a Summer SWAP to a Winter One. Maybe I should just call it "Weight Loss SWAP". If I work on it for 1 hour a day over the weekends I might just get it made.



So to make a plan:

Cut out print blouse next in my size. That can be done next week in the evening.

Order patterns and when they arrive, cut out all of the pants - 3 pairs of One Seams.

Make the check blouse from a Palmer Pletch pattern (buy it if necessary so it is large enough).

Then I will revisit what I need to do.
