Sewing plans for June/July

Well, I have received a jury summons for July so it seems I will be forced out of the house by then. The important question obviously, is what to wear? I don't have much in the way of 'nice' clothes right now partly due to being a mom at home (the joys of daily paint smears and spilt drinks) and  living in a building site it has been important to not have anything too precious to wreck!

I had planned to spend some months creating some nice outfits for myself now that I have my sewing things back. But I will have to come up with a few things before then. I am assuming a being inside a courtroom will mean high summer heat and no air conditioning so I will be focusing on light airy clothes. Purchasing power is low right now, I'm sure everyone is feeling the financial situation like our household is. Put simply, this is going to have to be a stash project...

I have a few things that were purchased for other projects that didn't get used so I can reincorporate those things.

So! Here's the plan. (so far)

• Liberty Thea Boho Shirt (view D).

• Mimi G Simplicity 8084 (view B but even shorter so it's a top rather than a dress).

• Sew Liberated 'Estuary Skirt'

• The Great British Sewing Bee 'Fashion with Fabric': The Cami top. Several probably. It doesn't use much fabric and I wear these sort of tops all time. I won't be adding that flounce though.

If there's time I would like to piece together some denim off cuts into a skirt of some kind. But I don't have any sort of pattern for that so it would need a purchase.

Since I still have the bits and bobs around from my last Thea shirt, I'm going to work on that one first. Tonight's job will be tracing the different collar and put a tiny FBA in the front.
