Sunday Strategy # 2

This week my goals are defined by the upcoming holiday and my sew along participation. Luckily, the Sew Colette 2.0 obligations for this week are light and I can focus on Halloween costumes.

1. Halloween Costumes for me, Brian and Billy.
2. Fabric for Peony. I have a few different options that I can't choose between. I think I should really make it in a flannel so it is nice and warm for the fall and winter. The only problem is that I have all these cute cotton prints that are just begging to be sewn into a beautiful dress!

Recap Of Last Week (Sunday Strategy # 1)

1. This week is the fall Kids Clothes Week Challenge over at Elsie Marley. I want to make a coat for Billy. I am going to use McCalls 6385 or Simplicity 2526. If I manage to get the coat completed I would like to make him a vest (Simplicity 1923) and a long sleeve shirt (Simplicity 1923).
• Completed the coat. Didn't get to the vest. Will Blog tomorrow =)
2. I need to do the fitting on my Colette Peony muslin for the  Colette 2.0 Sew Along.
• Done, again will blog later!

13 by 13 - The Craftsy Sassy Librarian Blouse

The Sassy Librarian Blouse Class went live on Craftsy this week and I absolutely had to join. It is a 1950's inspired button up blouse with options for a collar, bow, front tucks, short sleeves or sleeveless options.

Photo taken from the class instructions.

I have decided to make view 1 with the collar and sleeves. I chose a red fabric with white pin dots. I am still trying to decide if I am going to make a matching collar or a contrasting white one. Thoughts?

So far I have printed my pattern, taped it together and transferred everything in my size onto tracing paper. I have also washed and preshrunk my fabric. I ordered my cotton fusible interfacing and it should arrive next week. I don't plan to rush this project so I am not to worried about it. 

This is also one of my 13 by 13 goals. I am using a Craftsy class!
