It's Here!

The new Ottobre Woman fall issue arrived today! So many patterns I want to try, it's hard to decide what to do first! Here are my favorites and not so favorites (apologies to the Ottobre Design list that I posted this to already):

1. LOVE the pintuck dress! Not sure about the puffy sleeve, as I have heavy upper arms, maybe use a longer sleeve.
2. I'd like the denim skirt about twice that long LOL! Maybe I could use it and extend it so it's knee length.
3. tunic - same as #1!
4. plaid skirt - probably not
5. cargo pants - Can't wait to try these, and I have lots of good fabric in my stash for these!
6. zipper knit jacket - I like it, but how would it work in fleece?
7. jumper - very nice, maybe try it in denim and embroider on the yoke?
8. raglan T - must try! again, another one that will help me use up stash!
9. knit cardigan - I like it, but how heavy is wool knit? what else would work - fleece? slinky?
10. jersey tunic - could be a staple in my wardrobe this fall! Might leave the pockets off?
11. tweed pants and 12. tweed skirt - not fond of these, maybe without the cuffs and in a long pants length.
13. Sweet Nelly Wool Jacket - I don't think I have anything in my stash for this so I will have to go shopping! It's just too cute and comfy looking!
14. raglan T with pleats on sleeves - the picture doesn't show this very well, might just stick with #8
15. plaid pants - too small for me!
16. pants for curvy figures - LOL! OK, ya got me there! Maybe a good thing to use some of my stretch denim? Lord knows I need pants!
17. crossover top - I'm with "mermaids" - I could easily make this this weekend!
18. cowl sweater - nah, not a cowl fan.
19. wool tweed coat - Very tempting! I just donated my old wool coat to a thrift shop as it didn't fit me any more. Nothing in my stash, though, so would have to shop first!

I've promised DH to make his new lab coat by his birthday (Sept 6). At least I have a 3 day weekend, maybe I can do the crossover top in a blue tie dye knit I have in my stash first?
