October Sewing

October's off to a busy start! I'm not finishing things as quickly as I'd like, but I'm working away on a few things anyhow. The most important one right now is my project for the Fabricville blog; it's proved a little more time-consuming than I'd planned for -- I'm working on this Vogue 2053 jacket (the white view) in a cream corduroy, and to go with it I'm also going to make Butterick 6871 in this pretty patchwork print. Hopefully these will be done soon! 

Then I'll be moving on to this cool retro fabric. I've got it into my head to make another Merchant & Mills Factory Dress Top using this cotton. I have great buttons to add to this print, too! 

PatternReview is holding the Bargainista Fashionista contest right now as well, which is always so fun to plan for -- getting something done can be another story though ;) If I get through my previous projects, I'm thinking of copying an 80s style Akris dress using some blue cotton in my stash, probably using the bodice of this Burda and the skirt from a 90s Burda magazine dress which I've made before. 

And of course I will be planning my Literary Sewing Circle project as well! It might be something from this inspiration post, or perhaps something from an upcoming one... Lots of fun to come up with a plan! So a busy month or two of fall sewing ahead.
