I spent weeks looking through my patterns and fabric changing my mind every few days. Finally last week I cut out and started a pair of simple pull on stretch bengaline pants. I finished them today and feel so much better now.

That's not as bad as it seems, since she doesn't need it till May. But today I decided to go for it; taking 5.5" off a long lined dress isn't as easy as you think. But now maybe I've broken the drought and can make myself a couple of fall dresses!

I am an advanced beginner and have only sewed home dec items the past few months. I am a bit afraid to make garments due to the fact that I need to learn how to adjust patterns to fit me. I am gonna dive in and make a muslin. Watch those DVDs showing how to make adjustments. You can only learn by doing. I will get the muslin out and start making some casual pants. It has finally gotten cool and I need those pants stat! Your talent is there. I know it will bubble up sooner than later.
