And it looks like something to savor slowly:
Ooh la la! Fall fashion magazines. The dresses on the cover of both the Vogue and the Town and Country are fabulous. I haven’t really looked at the fall fashion shows yet, not even the couture. And if these dresses are any indication of what I will find I should start looking.
The Vogue patterns magazine also came filled with ideas for fall sewing. It also reminds me that I haven’t looked at the newest batch of patterns on the website.
I will take a look at those this weekend. It will be weeks yet before they wend their way into the pattern drawers at my local Joann Fabrics.
Not that I am really ready for fall sewing yet. I do still want to work on that taupe collection that did not materialize as a June capsule. There is still lots of time to wear it. And I am woefully behind on my coat(s) as well.
A new Patrones also arrived and I was very disappointed to see that it is soaking wet and the pages are sticking together. It was, as usual, wrapped in a plastic bag. The bag was dry on the outside and wet on the inside. I wonder what happened. The pattern looks OK but the line drawing pages are a mess. I need to look more closely and trace off anything I might want before it becomes completely illegible. Luckily, at first glance, there is really not that much in this issue I am interested in — all summer things, and I have many far more interesting summer things filling my dreams.
So there is lots of fodder for dreams and wishes and even some creative pursuits here. But I have no trouble storing up dreams. There are so many inspiring ideas. And already I am looking at some fabrics that are on the shelf and looking at them in a different way. Dreams and wishes. You will be reading more about them soon.

Must be such fun to look at fashion mags with the eye of an accomplished seamstress.
