100 days... 100 nights

Ladies and (some) gentlemen... let the countdown begin!  I have less that 100 days left of my year without shopping. 

100... 100 days...  WHAT?!

As I was thinking about my 100 days left of this challenge, I thought to myself.  "Gee, I didn't do as much sewing as I thought I would..."  Well, how can I fix this?  I can sew.  I am going to try and complete at least 10 sewing projects before my 100 days are up.  So far, my first project is already underway.  I am draping and designing a t-shirt dress.  And sorry, but I'm not going to do a tutorial or anything, this is not that kind of blog and there are women out there that do a much better job at it than me (such as Gertie, she's amazing you should really just look at what she can do with fabric and it will blow you away!).

I plan on completing my dress tonight and also a skirt too because I have two job interviews tomorrow and I do not really have anything to wear.  So that right there is two projects down. 

After those two projects, I will be moving on to this dress:

However, I am having a hard time deciding on the color.  At first I thought to do it cobalt blue, however, I also wanted to make sure it was on trend for fall.  After doing some research of fall lines and fall fashions, I am thinking that cobalt may not be the way to go.  Now, I'm thinking of doing a cranberry or a deep wine color instead.  Or even a deep saturated military green would be really great too.  I'm on the search for the perfect fabric and will probably order some swatches here soon.
