I really want to pack up the thousands of beads and sequins, the 13 yards of white Thai silk, and the 6 yards of dark pink silk, and go back in time and talk to Christian Dior, Ciel Chapman, Jacques Fath, Edith Head, Hubert Givenchy, Alix Gres, Madeleine Vionnet, and Charles Frederick Worth. THEY'D be able to design the perfect wedding gown for me.
No, I'm not getting married, but it definitely couldn't hurt to have a team like that behind me when the day comes!

So here's a conundrum:
Do I put away the winter fabrics I bought several months ago and never made into anything, or do I make the projects and store them in my slightly crowded closet until I can wear them again?
Hm.
I think I'll put away some and leave some out--I've got a few yards each of charcoal and red all-season wool suiting that will be made into long skirts, and I don't have enough long skirts. I also want to make Vogue 8364 but I don't know if it would look good in one of those pretty embroidered linens from JoAnn. Maybe it would. I'm thinking the olive green with the beige/gold flowers on it would be nice in this pattern. But before I do that, I need to cut out a wedding dress pattern and wash some muslin so I can get a good start on the sloper for Emily's wedding gown! Yay!
Right now, I need to finish some laundry and put some patterns away and buy thread and a zipper for impossible-to-match yardage and serge around one more dress and cut out the other pant leg for my sister's pajamas (I didn't cut four because I'm used to doing a 1-piece leg instead of a 2-piece leg and I wasn't paying attention to the pattern...) and do some mending and some hemming and see if I have the patience to make a slip-liner with cap sleeves for a silk chiffon dress I bought 6 years ago.
Busy weekend! I hope it's productive!
