Hello there!  I haven't been sewing or blogging much at all lately.  Things keep coming up and then after they are done with, I'm exhausted!  I have been planning a lot of projects and I have seen on some other blogs lists of summer sewing plans, so here is mine:
1.  Pleated Beauty Bag from Bend the Rules Sewing.  I have been wanting to make this bag, but couldn't decide on a fabric combination until I saw this one.  Hunting began for the Zazu fabric and once I found it, I ordered it right away!
2.  Anna Tunic.  I know, I know, I have mentioned this before.  I need to trace the pattern and make up a muslin.  I'm hoping to accomplish this by the end of the month.
3.  Bags, Bags and more Bags.  Besides the Pleated Beauty, I want to make this one, this one and the Charming Handbag from Bend the Rules.  Also, I saw a water bottle bag in this book that I would like to try.  I also bought 2 New Look patterns for bags, one which uses the bamboo handles, which I love.  I need more bags!
4.  Easy summer skirts and tank tops.  I'm thinking this pattern might be what I follow for the skirts and this one for the tops.  They will be great when it's hazy, hot and humid in August!
5.  A few small projects, like this doll, this scarf, and this clutch. 
That's all I'm going to list for now.  I don't want to put too much pressure on myself!  I know it seems like a lot, but I think I can do it.  I would also like to spend some time embroidering and possible start learning crochet.  I'll revisit this post during the summer months and show my progress!!

Hi Katie
I just stumbled on your blog.I will be coming back to have a look at your projects. I like the bag and the combination on the flickr one. So looking forward to seeing yours. You've given me an idea though. I might set myself a similar challenge as well.
