Fall Ambition

Summer here in Vancouver has been absolutely abysmal, depressing, and creativity-sucking. Sunlight & warmth have been pretty much non-existent which is enough to make even this loyal Vancouverite question her dedication to this beautiful area.

Summer is usually worn like a proud badge around here, flaunted with gusto so that we can hold on to the spectacular memories amidst the grey drizzle of the other 6-9 months of the year. But, SIGH, not this year - we're sitting at July 19th on the calendar and it's grey, and cool.

So, to improve my outlook I have started planning a fall wardrobe for Gigi that I'm going to make for her (all by myself!). Here are a few of the items on my to make list:

Magic Pocket Blouse (pattern from etsy shop Mani-Mina)

Urban Hoodie (pattern from etsy shop Heidi & Finn)

Chic Cocktail Swing Coat (from Heidi & Finn)

and the Pleat Bottom Pants (from Heidi & Finn)

Now to source out the right fabric for all these adorable clothes and get the novice sewing started!
