Fall/Winter sewing

Looking through all of the September issues of my favorite fashion mags, InStyle, People Style Watch, Marie Claire, Harper's Bazaar, Essence...what to make? Hmmm!
Well, I want to make a nice three quarter length coat out of some grey pendelton wool I've had for a while, also three pair of slacks for work, preferably, black, navy and grey.  So many thoughts are in my head and I thought if I wrote them down that would help....not working. I thought I would spend this past weekend pulling out my fabrics and making a decision but that did not occur.  My weekend was a blurr.....This week I will make my list and then pull out the patterns and then decide on the fabric.  Hopefully by my next blog I will post a picture of something...until then....Happy Sewing...
