 Hi you guys Lindsay here welcome back to my channel inside the him I have so many wonderful plans for July as it stands right now I don't have any vacations planned. I don't have any company coming into town We've got a holiday, which means like no one goes to work And it's really hot outside. So I imagine I'm gonna be inside a lot Doing a lot of sewing not to mention. I just got back from New York City where I did my epic Fabric shopping. I say it's for the year, but I end up buying stuff throughout the year anyways It's just it's just my thing is buying fabric So I've got a lot of new stuff new stuff that I want to get to sewing really really quickly I've got some ideas that were immediate as soon as I saw the fabric I knew that's what I knew what it would be. So those are the things I'm gonna start with first And then I'll figure out the other stuff as time goes on. I imagine this will take me a whole year to sew up the 20 some almost 30 fabrics that I got while I was up there But they're all great and I love them all and I'm really really excited to get started. So Let's start with Some of those So I went to this store called gray line linen It was my very first time there and all they sell is linen And I love a store that specializes in something because they really do get the best of the best So I found this gorgeous like grass green granny Smith apple green Linen it's got a really soft hand to it. This has already been pre-washed one time At PS I saw you guys as comments about washing it in coke like Coca-Cola I'm a little nervous to try that on a whole piece But I might cut off a swatch and compare because I have a swatch from before I pre-washed it at all I'll have a plain swatch after washing it one time in regular detergent And then I'll have a third swatch after washing it in Coca-Cola So maybe that'll be a fun experiment to share with you guys as well I've never heard that before and apparently you can't use Pepsi you have to use coke So I'll do a little bit more research and see if I can do a little pre-washed experiment on linen Apparently also works on denim if you have denim anyways, so when I saw these linens I kind of had in my mind that I wanted to find a really great linen For Mimi G's Jessica dress, so it's the free pattern that she has whenever you sign up for her newsletter Basically, it is a button front dress sweetheart neckline spaghetti straps waist seam That's pretty much pretty much it so I got this to make that and I think it's gonna be really great I have been seeing that style of dress Everywhere from my Instagram feed like advertising from stores Other people on Instagram people on the street In stores in person. I've been seeing that style dress everywhere. It's kind of 90s but Kind of modern too. It's like, you know a retro look that can fit in today, too So I'm excited to make that. I think this color is just perfect They had so many colors to choose from and this green just really really spoke to me So I'm excited about this then I have the so my style pattern for July is like the lander pant and Also, maybe flint plant flint Megan Nielsen Flint. It's two different kinds of pants and No, that's just not going to happen I'm still not at a place where I am making pants and I'm certainly not going to buy a pattern For like a fitted pant where you have to worry about like crotch length crotch depth all of that Like I can get away with the goji shorts from dear and Joe because None of that really matters. They're so voluminous and baggy that it's fine So that's kind of where my mind went when I heard that there were pants for so my style I said, okay, I can make pants But they're not going to be fitted through the waist and the hip that's just not going to happen instead I want to make Palazzo pants where they're in the waistband fits and then they're voluminous everywhere I've been seeing them on celebrities a ton With either like body suits or crop tops. I'm not sure I'm gonna wear it with a crop top Just really form-fitting Top and then this big voluminous pants on bottom So the fabric I got for that and I hope that it shows up. Well is this It's a stripe it's a hundred percent cotton and It is like crinkled kind of already. It's very lightweight. Here's what one Piece like one layer looks like So I think it'll be nice and breathable so I could still technically wear it in the summer with like a black tank top and black flats I think that would be really cute And I just think that it would drape nicely but also still hold the shape of the voluminous voluminous pant leg. I Don't have a pattern in my stash That is what I see in my mind, but I do have McCall 7789 Which has a huge pant and because this is a Created pattern All the pieces are kind of separate. So I'm thinking That I could just modify this waistband to make it narrower and these would work So that's kind of my plan right now if I get nervous about that then I will Find another pattern, I'm sure these palazzo pants are kind of a dime a dozen in the pattern world so Tentatively the pants from this pattern out of this for so my style but speaking of this this is not going away just yet because I am Obsessed with this pattern. However, this little tie number here and what it's doing to her under boob I'm not obsessed with but I feel like I can modify this To make view whatever view this is I guess that's three the top of three and the pants of four and then modified that little middle section of the bodice To convert it not convert it into a tie, but to like make a mock tie I think because I looked at the pattern pieces and this This bust piece and the tie is all one so when you go So like if you untied it you would be naked, you know I'm saying And when you go to tie it, I mean that's only gonna provide So much support, but I think that if you made Number three bodice number three that has like the princess seams and like, you know the actual You know under bust seam and then did a little mock tie It would at least get the illusion of it being more supportive and more fitted You could certainly add underwire or boning or any of the myriad of things to make it a little bit more stable So I'm probably gonna play around with that some but I do love this pattern And I do want to make it work the fabric that I got again. This came from gray line linen and I Don't know when I saw it. I just thought of this jumpsuit. It is red stripe With like a white cross grain kind of going through it So that is gonna be the fabric which I think would be really cute very Americana very patriotic. I Think I might turn the stripes long ways for the pants I I still got a little bit of thinking through to do on this one, but I am very excited about it And I think it will be super cute Once I get it all sorted out But hopefully I can get it sorted out this month so that I can wear it before it starts to cool off because This is a just a very summertime look, you know, I don't I don't know that I would pull this off that much in the fall maybe with a jean jacket for a few months, but So anyways excited about this one as well 7789 from the Coles. Okay, so now we are at the point of the video where I talk about my refashion Refashioning is something it's like a challenge of mine this month or this year and I want to do one refashion a month So far I've done one every month, but I miss June so Gonna try and make up for that and do two of them this month and They are quick. They are easy so that should not be a problem I should probably be able to bang out both of these in One day that's how quick they are but The first one is what I was talking I mentioned in my plans video in June. I'm not gonna change my plan I did get started because I cut this off The shirring from the top of the dress I cut off. This is just an ITY knit It's really nothing special about it. Just a fun abstract fabric So now I've got a giant tube You can see just one big tube. So I'm going to cut that into a Top um, I was thinking of something like the Ogden cami some kind of like camisole that I can Wear with jeans or shorts and then put a jacket over for when it gets cooler out Something simple and basic out of this The one that I picked for July is a similar concept in that the dress is Like a shirred top maxi same as this one was Except this is woven. This is some kind of cotton Nothing special very very basic, but it does also come with an Underlining piece so I actually have two layers to this one to work with so I might try and play that up I picked up McCall seven four one one, which is this top here. I Love view II that was the scalloped him It's two layers of scallops. So that's how I would be able to incorporate the under layer. I mean it's not Let's see the difference. Let's see. Let's see so Well now okay, so the outer layer is like a little bit lighter a little bit more sheer and The under layer is more like a broad cloth, but they're not that different And so I think well, they're different colors. I don't know why that is I guess one faded and one didn't Um But can you guys even tell a difference there between this and this? I Don't know so that could be cool But then if I decide that I don't like that then I could always just make view be which is a basic tank It has a high low hem rounded Nothing fancy no big deal, but it would be like a great go-to top For hundred and ten degree days like we're having in this heat wave And again, I could like the other one. I could easily put a little jacket over it and wear it multi-season So it's just a good layering good basic Tank so McCall seven four one one Okay, and in the world of non garment sewing I have decided That it's time to make another quilt So I have the cricket maker as you guys know you've seen my projects with the cricket maker they have been Really driving home the fact that it makes it a good jillion times easier to sew a quilt With the cricket maker because it cuts out all of your pieces for you And so I thought okay. Let's put that to the test They also have a collaboration with Riley Lake Where you can buy a kit a fabric kit so you can see I have all of the fabrics here and You buy a kit and then you can pair it with any of these Can you see any of these Quilt patterns and you have enough fabric in here to make one of them Or I'm sure you can make other ones too You just have to double-check that you're using the right fabric for the right section anyways It's supposed to be super super easy and super super quick Because all the cutting is done for you and you kind of just push the buttons and let it go to town And they're very accurate and you don't have I mean when I sewed my first quilt That was the hardest part was getting all the layers right and getting them cut right and getting those corners Just perfect and I'm not great with a rotary cutter So I thought okay if I'm gonna try it again, and this is how I'm gonna do it So I've got all these to make I will be recording my progress Breaking it up into three videos So you guys will see a couple of them in July and then the final one will go live in August So, you know be sure to follow along with that But I thought the fabrics were super cute that has like this little baby pink Gingham and some red and some aqua. So I'm excited about how this is going to turn out So baby size, it's not gonna be huge so Hopefully it will turn out okay But those are my plans for July I as always want to know what you guys are making to let me know what you've got on your list for this month Maybe you'll inspire me and I can add it to my list for August I've got a ton of fabric to get through so I need some ideas But until next time I will see you all very soon. Bye
