But, hope springs eternal. I veer off and get wild at times but when focused and in my adult state, I will make a plan and sew to that plan. I usually do wardrobe plans or capsules (cowl capsule, knit top capsule, MT pant capsule). Here is my recent big plan-I am going to use wardrobe patterns to actually make ...wait for it....outfits!

But you and I seem to have the same exquisite taste in fabric and pattern choice! (ggg) That wonderful, pleated, black/purple raincoat fabric rests in my stash as well, earmarked for the very same pattern! I am so pleased to give you the honor of making it up first - and finding out all the little quirks and foibles I need to know about sewing with it before I cut it out.

It did make me realize I needed to cool it on the fabric buying! Unfortunately, though, my sewing time has been so limited.
