Yet I still can’t seem to get any momentum going. It’s not like I have anything important to do, it’s just that I have one interruption after another. I don’t know how people with real jobs or kids get anything done.
But at least I can share my plans! It’s another color-coordinated group. I seem to have good luck finishing those. The fabrics are all shades of dusky blue.
It’s sometimes called
slate blue, evening blue, brittany blue, steel blue, or simply grey-blue.

To me, it looks a lot like water reflecting the sky at dusk.

I’m doing a 70s theme
here, which at first glance seems as though it could go very badly. Or it could
be a wild success.
In my mind’s eye, the
designs take on a completely different look in, say, blue cotton twill, than the
kelly green polyester pictured on the pattern.
Let’s hope that the reality
of the end result resembles my vision.
All I need is an
uninterrupted month or so…

I do like that Simplicity 6024. I hear you on the time for sewing. Hope you find that uninterrupted month.
ReplyDeleteLove the color hues you've chosen... Yes! getting anything, I mean anything done, with all the extras... is a challenge... The pants is a nice change of pace from seeing ladies wearing skinny jeans that DO NOT make anyone, look good.... You know seeing the crack of a thirty something mother is really not flattering... (gross)... The Seventies done up, and not so much of the funky patterns would be classy once again...

I feel that way too, lately. So many interruptions - or maybe it's so little discipline (on my part).
ReplyDeleteLove this shade of blue - and Lake Powell at sunset? Lake Powell is one of my very favorite places on earth! So tickled to see it here. I feel I grew up in part there - we spent so many, many weeks there every summer.
