• drawing of a top I’d like to make

  I always seem to spend ages trying to decide on my next sewing project: which style will I actually wear? What looks interesting? Is it my size? Could I grade it up? It would fit me as is but would it look better if I graded up? Will it be too loose? Should I really do an FBA, rather than grade up?

  Ugh. And then I don’t make much. I think knitters usually obsess this much, because knitting takes time and sewing is quick, right? Except that most patterns I’d like to make require tracing, and that means lots of (child wrangling) time, because I’m tracing on the floor where the original patterns, pens, scissors etc are all accessible to the 18 month old …

  My sketch is pretty similar to the Simplicity I didn’t end up making … guess I really do like that style after all. I’m thinking of making my own pattern this time ‘tho.
