Oh, I have so many.
I’ve been sketching patterns I want to make in my sketchbook.
I definitely want to do a Motoko Kusanagi cosplay, so that will require sewing her jacket… I want more lolita dresses, so I am working on drafting more daring patterns: ruffles, lace, and puffed sleeves! I have scrap fabric, lets see what we can turn this into. Definitely doing my own embroidery. I definitely want a victorian gown, and I have the pattern for it, but not the fabric… Sigh.

I am a novice when it comes to sewing, however I have been very inspired by your website and blogs. I will be making a sophisticated outfit for Church this Sunday. I will definitely post the pics once I am done. I am so excited to be taking on this new path of self-fulfilment (making my own clothes). Wish me luck.

Interview outfits are on the cutting table this year. With a little extra help from Burda, maybe I’ll get just the right position!
