December has been a surprisingly creative month for me! After spending what feels like most of the year not sewing, I feel like I’ve got my groove back this month and I’ve been able to wrap up several long-term projects that have been on my to-sew goals list as well as start some new projects … More Monthly Sewing Review – December Wrap Up
I do really enjoy doing a sewing wrap-up post each year. I think there has been a lot of “we overestimate what we can do in a day but underestimate what we can do in a year” going around, and for me that it totally true. I am addicted to my Todoist app, but I’m … More 2022 Sewing Top 5
As has been my tradition on the blog, I like to do a few year-end wrap up posts looking at how things went. I tend to separate the sewing things into their own posts and the non-sewing things into this post. I do really like sort of doing this general wrap up; I am re-reading … More 2022: Looking Back at Everything Not Related to Sewing
Since my recent posts on the distracted nature of my sewing plans and the follow-up in my November wrap-up post, I’ve done a bit more of a foray into the realm of bra sewing, and I’ve definitely got some thoughts on the process. As a brief summary, I’m basically completing my trifecta of things I … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Part 1 – Making the First Bra
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’ve been pretty minimal in my sewing plans this year, especially after my energy levels were knocked down a peg from my bout with the plague. I’ve been pretty focused on the idea of making a button front shirt (still in progress), and I’ve got a dress pattern on the radar for an upcoming event. … More In Which My Sewing Plans Take a Total Left Turn
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
So, apparently with little warning, the once ubiquitous Fabric.com is no more. Visitors to the homepage are now greeted with the following: It’s a bit crazy because I just placed an order on a bit of a whim at the start of the month to get a few things to pair with the fabrics I … More RIP Fabric.com
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
