I can’t even believe May is wrapping up. I feel like it’s been a whirlwind month, even though it’s been relatively calm in terms of travel and scheduled events. I did have a lot of stuff I needed to get done this month, though, so I still didn’t have a lot of sewing time. Sewing … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2023 May Wrap Up

I sort of knew April was going to be a lost cause in terms of sewing, and it pretty much was. I did a few Cricut crafts as gifts, but not much else. Spring seems like it’s the busiest time for other things (work, side hustles, and volunteer efforts), so sewing takes a back seat. … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2023 April Wrap Up

The only sewing I’ve done this month has been fantasy sewing. I had an idea to maybe do the Pattern Review Wardrobe Sudoku contest, but, well, life. It’s all been crazy insane and I don’t think it will let up any time soon. Right now I’m honestly really looking forward to August…. Sewing Progress No … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2023 March Wrap Up

The crazy busy season has started, so I haven’t had a lot of time to work on any sewing/crafting things this month. This monthly review will be pretty short in terms of accomplishments, but it does feel good to have somewhere to document things I have been contemplating for the future. Sewing Progress Sewing progress … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2023 February Wrap Up

Somehow after a very crafty December, January has resulted in almost no sewing, crafting, or other creative pursuits. It has been a busy month with travel and work, and we’ve also had a few unexpected issues pop up that have taken over a lot of my crafting time. I was able to get several update … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2023 January Wrap Up

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

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
