I like the sound of this. I need to get myself organised for my garment sewing as I have a big embroidery project in the pipeline and I may run out of hours.
I'm thinking another pair of jeans, a top of some description and a casual coat to use up fabric that has been marinating for too long. We'll see. (Don't hold your breath  ).

I'm in!
1. Style Arc Spencer Trousers in black cotton twill- classic wide leg.
2. Maison Fauve Ispahan Jacket- I have to find an interesting fabric for this.
3. A V neck blouse- maybe Burda 6632.- in a silky fabric.

I think I might be able to shoehorn what I'm planning to make in the next few months into this one

I love good capsule / outfit / mini wardrobe challenge so whilst I am going to be away quite a bit during the contest (don't worry @Flobear will look after things) I reckon I could still use some TnT (tried n true or tried n tested) patterns and do a few garments.

As I have ivory on the machines I think I'll start with a floral shirt from some fabric I bought in June. I can then add ivory, olive or pink in my other pieces.

I don't think I wear enough different 'stuff' to have any ideas! But I shall be cheering everyone on.

Must have a think about this one. 
 If my new Marcy Tilton jacket pattern managed to row itself across the Atlantic from the US warehouse  in time then that teamed with some TnT pattern trousers would be a good idea.

I have cut my blouse out. Hopefully will do interfacing and stuff tomorrow.

Blouse is done!

I used a 100% cotton fabric which I bought from Economy Fabrics in June this year.
The buttons are shell buttons from the button drawers. Fortunately I managed to find a dozen all the same size.
The pattern is Prima March 2020 cut off to blouse length. I've also added a continuous placket for the opening rather than using the sleeve seam.

Now just need something for the bottom half!

I've a collection of things int he list to make.. just need to find the time.  I have cullottes , a couple of tops and a few dresses on the list....

[Ouryve]

Depending on what's happening with my eye, I may have to give this one a miss.

[SewRuthieSews]

@smurf44 , you only need to make an outfit for this contest, maybe the culottes and one top?

@Ouryve , its super important to look after your eyes. I've had quite a few family members who've had cataract operations and it's worked out very well.

[smurf44]

fab, i'll defo have a go especially since I've bought more fabric... 

[realale]

Well, I've made the jeans and I'm having a go at a new to me pattern for an easy throw on jacket. Only time will tell if it works out.

[SewRuthieSews]

Ooh sounds good
