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 feel like 2022 is shaping up to be a year of highs and lows, but possibly mostly lows. It’s been a hard, busy month, so I don’t have a whole lot to report on, but I did want to keep my monthly posts up as much as possible, so here’s a short review… Sewing … More Monthly Sewing Review – February Wrap Up
As part of my year-long goals, I thought it might be good to try adding a monthly round-up post in order to keep my posting a bit more regular, and also help document progress even when I don’t have a finished item to post. Sewing Progress As far as sewing goes, January was a bit … More Monthly Sewing Review – January Wrap Up
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
Ok, so back at the beginning of September, I was naively hopeful that I’d complete my Micro-Mini Wardrobe sewing plans. But alas, for it was not to be. I was motivated and excited to work on all of those pieces, but I vastly underestimated the time it would take to fit new-to-me sewing patterns. Vastly. … More A Tale of Twelve Toiles
I recently posted a book review for Love Your Creative Space, a book about designing and organizing creative workspaces. However, I had a few criticisms of that book, and didn’t really see it as a must-add sort of reference for the sewing library. However, in the comments birdmommy mentioned that Dream Sewing Spaces was their … More Book Review: Dream Sewing Spaces
For the month of September, Pattern Review is running a mini wardrobe sewing contest. Typically these contests run a bit longer and require more pieces, but for this year’s contest it only requires 2 bottoms and 3 tops, all which must mix-and-match. Since I need to get together a back-to-work “hybrid” wardrobe (3 days on … More Micro-Mini Wardrobe Sewing Plans?
As seems to happen in my nearing-the-end-of-summer-but-not-quite-fall-yet posts, this is going to be a bit of a long ramble. If you actually want to read through all of this, you may require tea and cookies. You have been warned. *** Going through my Sew, Wear Are They Now series has helped me realize a few … More Sew, Wear Are They Now: Where Do I Sew From Here?
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
