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
It seems like a lot of the annual wrap-up posts have just barely started happening (at the time of writing), so maybe the Sewing Top 5 isn’t as much of a community thing as it used to be, especially now that the Sewcialists have retired. Last year I didn’t really do any sort of proper … More A Look Back: 2021 Sewing Top 5
So, I’ve been largely absent from blogging the past few months (aside from a few pre-scheduled Sew, Wear are they Now series posts) because I have been super busy. I’m not sure how pandemic life (aka, largely not going anywhere or doing anything outside of the house) has ended up feeling more busy and exhausting … More Sewing Goals: White Shirt Summer
IT. IS. DONE. Finally. For reals this time. It almost feels unreal to be saying it, and I still don’t think the the fact that this project has reached completion has totally registered. But my RTW Knockoff, #SewTheLook trench coat, lovingly dubbed The Forever UFO, is FINISHED. Looking back at my records, this coat has … More Pattern Review: BWOF-09-2006-103 (The Forever UFO)
Ok, first things first, I have to give a shoutout to Carolyn at Diary of a Sewing Fanatic because her post totally inspired me to do a decade-long look back at my sewing. It’s actually a pretty great time for me to do this because I got my first sewing machine in May of 2009 … More Best of a Decade: Sewing in the 2010s
Firstly, I have to give a shout out to Gillian of Crafting a Rainbow, who inspired me to start participating in the Sewing Top 5 last year. Although, this year I’m really not sure we can properly call this post a “Sewing Top 5” because I haven’t even fully made 5 things this year (for … More 2019 Sewing Top 5
As I’ve traditionally done, I want to take the next few days to look back at the year and really create a reference point for myself and how things have been. While the remainder of my posts will be sewing-related, I usually try to include one post that is more personal and looks at the … More A Non-Sewing Look Back at 2019
I’ve always done an end of the year sewing wrap-up post, but this year I was inspired to do a #sewingtop5 post by Gillian of Crafting a Rainbow. It doesn’t really change much from what I’ve done in years past, but it does offer some guidelines as well as add to the community feel of … More 2018 Sewing Top 5
I was away for a week to judge a skating competition, then sick for a week because of a cold I picked up at said skating competition, so not much has been happening on the sewing front. It seems a little dangerous to wield a rotary cutter when you are weak and shaking, so I’ve … More Sew Geeky Update Post
Although I’ve been sewing quite steadily over the past few years, this was really the first year I’ve made a significant number of garments for myself in quite a while, and, as it turns out, this has made me re-fall in love with sewing again this year. When I was spending most of my sewing … More A Year of Sewing: 2017
