My usual style is to make a list a mile long, that's not particularly realistic, and then get frustrated when I don't get it all done. Crazy, right? This month I'm going for something a little more realistic, just three things.
Style Arc Dotty Blouse
This one's already cut out and ready to go. I actually cut it out last month but then my mojo evaporated and I didn't sew a stitch. I'm using a really beautiful ivory crepe like fabric from Darn Cheap Fabric. I'm taking a risk here, the fabric is 100% poly - which I normally stay clear of - but this feels really lush so I'm giving it a go.
Vogue 9204 blouse
I've been feeling so cold at work lately so more long sleeve tops are an absolute necessity. This top looks really versatile and I have a gorgeous green viscose from Darn Cheap Fabrics picked out for this one. I'm planning on making view B.
Ginger Jeans
My love for this pattern has no bounds. I've lost count of how many times I've made it, and despite wanting a black pair of skinny jeans for months, I held off on sewing these up because I thought I should try something different. Then I realised I was being silly - this pattern works for me so I'm making it happen. These are already half sewn up.
This denim also came from Darn Cheap Fabrics. I purchased all three fabrics (and a piece of lace I hope to use soon) back in May when my mum, sister and I had a shopping trip on my birthday weekend. I've indulged in a little fabric retail therapy to kick start my mojo so I'll be really happy to see these plans become a reality and the fabric move out of my stash and into my wardrobe.

Looking forward to seeing your Style Arc Dotty blouse. Thinking of making this up myself and I am interested to read your take on the pattern. Good luck with your sewing plans.
V9204 is so stylish, can't wait to see it!
