November has been an interesting month. It started with the wrap-up of my last big travel event (hopefully) for the year. When I came home I was sick (again) with non-COVID, plus the usual post-travel exhaustion, so I didn’t think there would be a lot of sewing going on this month. However, I’ve had a … More Monthly Sewing Review – November Wrap Up
I was hoping to get a bit of sewing in this month, but I haven’t gotten a lot farther than a first draft of a button down shirt pattern. Of course, I wasn’t expecting to get a lot done this month, and this sets me up nicely to be able to work on some projects … More Monthly Sewing Review – October Wrap Up
I usually don’t get a lot of sewing done over the summer as I am usually traveling and quite busy. This year all of my usual events were a lot earlier, but I still didn’t get any summer sewing in. I feel like I’ve been trading sewing time for other events this year. I think … More Monthly Sewing Review – September Wrap Up
As predicted, posting sewing plans to the internet was extremely foolhardy and no finished garments were completed this month. I’m not exactly sure what has happened to my energy levels, but the long-term effects of previously having COVID still don’t seem to be fully cleared and this month still felt like a lot of rest … More Monthly Sewing Review – August Wrap Up
July has largely been a follow-up of non-sewing recovery and rest. Happily though, the sewjo is finally returning so I’m feeling the sewing vibes again and working on planning my next few projects. Sewing Progress No sewing projects to report on again this month; I’ve barely done any planning and even less prep work. I’ve … More Monthly Sewing Review – July Wrap Up
So, June has not turned out to be the fun month of sewing productivity that I had hoped it would be. Instead it has pretty much been a month of plague and recovery. Not only did I have my first go-round with the ronas, for some reason my body thought it would be good to … More Monthly Sewing Review – June Wrap Up
May has continued the months of madness… it’s been super busy. It’s been a busy time with work, with non-work, and with the third round of the Pattern Review Sewing Bee. It’s alway a mix of sadness and relief when you get cut from the Bee; honestly I thought the third round had some super … More Monthly Sewing Review – May Wrap Up
If March was busy, April made it look relaxing. It’s been a challenging month and I’ve had a lot of obligations. Despite knowing all of this I decided to jump into the Sewing Bee anyway. Why? Partially because I’m crazy, and partially because I just really love the insanity of participating in the Bee. Even … More Monthly Sewing Review – April Wrap Up
While March has been super busy and I did manage to get a few sewing projects in, it somehow also feels like I didn’t really do that much related to sewing? Probably because I honestly spent most of the month working on real work, volunteer work, and actually participating in real-life events. The world (at … More Monthly Sewing Review – March Wrap Up
I had hoped to get back to my week-long tradition of posts wrapping up the year, but the end of 2021 really snuck up on me, and I haven’t had a lot of time to be writing until now. I have to admit, my job gets very intense just before the holiday break, and I’ve … More A Non-Sewing Look Back at 2021
