Along with my ever-expanding list of paintings-to-be I have an equally long list of sewing-I-imagine-I’ll-get-done. When I’m feeling too lazy to actually sew its kind of fun to draw. Here are some at the top of the list:
Number one is a sweater-jacket made from one of the gray wool knits I bought at the beginning of the fall. I don’t actually have a matching rib-knit for the collar but I think just an oversized collar will do. I’m thinking I’ll start from my basic jacket pattern, maybe shrink it a bit for the stretchier knit, then figure out the collar. Not sure what I’ll do for a belt.
Another Korean-inspired dress, with fun layers at the hem. I think I can make this fairly easily from the tunic pattern I worked out last summer. The main part will be the other gray wool knit. For the hem I am thinking some oatmeal-colored wool I just got from fabric.com and a bit of a cotton print I just got from Gorgeous Fabrics.
A funnel-neck top from the rest of the paprika-colored cotton knit I got this summer.
A ruffle-collar t-shirt with a center front seam. I’ve seem these CF seams a couple places now and I really like them.
Finally, a plaid shirtdress made from this wool I’d been lusting after for a while. I’m thinking of using V8021. The envelope doesn’t look great but I love Cidell’s version.
What are the chances I’ll actually make all these?

I love your drawings. I wish I could capture my ideas like that. Functional and beautiful.
