Dorm room cleaning, Alabama Chanin and 7 days again !

Quick stuff: First! End of year cleaning in my little brownstone.....

This is a drawing by Andrea del Sarto which I copied...

My bulletin board...I also drew the sketch to the right for the Core Journal last spring..

St. Jeanne Jugan fraternizing with the Inferno.

These pics are of a piece of a tank I am making. The pattern is from Alabama Chanin. I first made a stencil and then sprayed it through on the gray jersey with black fabric paint. The lining is super soft purple jersey. I am stitching around each shape, because the plan is to do reverse applique. Should look a bit like this-

Except as a shirt, and purple instead of white...and a different pattern. Anyway, here is the progress so far. It is a lovely texture..

Some of the original stenciling..

Then the light started coming in beautifully...

Other news...back onto 7 days...today was yogurt,chocolate chips and blueberries for breakfast, salad with chicken for lunch, way too many sweets and salad with chicken again for dinner...On to Tuesday!

Sewing Schtuff - Possible order of projects...

Projects

So....

1. Dresses

This shift dress



Super simple... I think I would like to make it in pure white....like this



This tank dress...

I love it (I also aspire to have hair like this model)


Again in terms of customization, I might be a bit less busy with prints. I would love to make it with some really heavy jersey.

This



2. Shirts

SO excited to make some shirts for summer...

From the same collection off Burdastyle, this cropped blouse..



I basically imagine this with buttons



Or this type of fabric...Basically stripes.




Then this dolman top





Again I would make this way more plain and comfortable... Do we sense a theme?
This fabric would be amazing...



And this top...I get more excited every time I think about it.



So cool! I like the linen-y fabric used here, It would also be super cool in striped material...


Or in sweatshirt material



Also, how freaking cool would it be in fabric like this..!



Lastly, this tank-


I would make it in white, black, grey, or navy linen....or light black jersey..

As an aside, I think I am just going to try to figure out (maybe using some old thrift shop t-shirt) a striped tank like this one....




3. Skirt
Yep just one..
This 'un..


I would, almost definitely, make it in gray jersey..


Or this.



4. Bottoms

These Leggings...in black, dark green, or stripes
