I have way too much 'unfinished' clothing lying around: shirts, shirts, shirts, tops, tops, tops. And a pair of pants that no longer fit me and which I can't modify so they do - I'd need to go several sizes up. Ugh.
Some thoughts I've had on dressmaking over the last year:
I need to find the shirt patterns, upsize them for my adult form, and cut out a couple. I don't like the loose tops so much. Need something a little more structured. The Esme top probaby looks pretty if you've got a figure, but it's either too long, or too sacklike to suit me very well. I could maybe put an elastic waist on it? Dresses also need to be better structure - fitted bodice, tied waistline, at least an a-line skirt. No sack or loose-waisted dresses!

I got four patterns printed:
Billie Woven Pant - Style Arc
Thea
Paperbag Pant - Style Arc
Elysia Bow Patchwork Dress - Roberts Wood
Flower
Patchword Dress - Roberts Wood
I wonder if I could make the Elysia Bow dress out of patchwork scraps? I mean, that's the idea, isn't it?
