Have you ever just felt kind of - not paralyzed with fear - but maybe just really indecisive? I haven't been sewing because of this very problem. See, the heart of the problem is that I've:
- lost 25 pounds and nothing I currently own fits anymore, and
- I'm expecting.
What do I make that will get me through at least the next few months before I really need clothes for an ever expanding belly?
I've racked my brain, looked through patterns, looked through my fabric stash. Nothing is happening. No quickening of my pulse when I see a certain pattern, no fabrics are screaming, "Sew me now!" I just don't have any inspiration, any desire! At the same time, I'm tired of wearing the same skirt to church and rotating two jackets. I need some clothes now, preferably easy and fast clothes to make.
I kind of think that making dresses with an unstructured jacket would be best - but what? Ugh! I'm frustrated and not at all at peace with myself.

Hi! Amy,

Congrats on expecting!!! That's wonderful :) I'm sure you will figure out the "clothes problem" because you are very creative :)
I received a blogger award while I was gone on vacation that I'd love to pass on to you! Please come and visit me to pick it up!
Hugz,

What about a couple of knit dresses that can be worn with a belt now and with later. I just made Butterick 5247 for my Mom last night with a self belt. It was really quick to put together too. Just a thought.
Congradulations on the 25 lb weight loss.
Try going to a few shops and trying on some outfits in styles and colors that you wouldnt usaully go for.Take a photo of anything you like and then find similar sewing patterns.
