Fall Sewing List

This is mostly for my own organizational purposes, but some people will be interested in reading it. I have to type up my list and place it somewhere secure. I keep losing the scraps of paper that I keep writing my list on.

What's done:
brown tweed skirt
red corduroy jacket
red flower print blouse
off-white knit top*
berry knit top*
red boucle sweater vest*

What I'd like to do:
linen blouse
olive sateen pants
teal flower print corduroy jacket
brown pinstripe pants
off-white knit top
berry knit top
red boucle sweater vest
yellow sweater knit jacket
teal/red sweater knit coat
cream boucle skirt

My ultimate goal is to have this all finished by Thanksgiving. I have a week in San Diego coming up that I'd like to have a few things done for, and a weekend in Los Angeles that I'd like to have a few more things completed for.

I was trying to sew in a bottom-top-bottom-top alternating way, so that I have outfits being created rather than a bunch of tops or a bunch of bottoms. But I think I'm going to zip through a couple tops with the off-white thread that I have in the machine now. I have plenty of skirts and pants already to wear with neutral tops. I'm anxious to check some more pieces off my list.

Wow the panels for the bed! I love them. Always wanted those. Looks so nice.
Also, the herringbone skirt and courdoroy jacket- I love them too! You are so good at this stuff.
