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
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
My recovery from the effects of COVID have been slow, and other summer events have been wiping out whatever small amounts of energy I’ve had remaining the past few months. But I do love a good Pattern Review Contest, and the Mini Wardrobe challenges always get me thinking. Since I was sort of floating in … More In Which I Foolishly Post Sewing Plans to the Internet
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
