It's the eighth month of the year so I should be more than half way done, right?
Well, it depends. If you want to count the original garments I meant to finish, then no.
I had been going on a good run there for a while. Unfortunately, I kept getting sidetracked. Something didn't fit right so instead of being stuck I just moved on to another project and...
I ended up substituting different garments as they caught my eye and like an idiot I have been sewing them all at the same time. One day, a little this, next day, a little of that. Which means it has taken me an awful long time to just finish something. But I have!
As of now, I have completed:
McCall's 4632 Boxy Blouse
Burdastyle Irmchen's Twisted Drape Top
Grainline Studio Scout Woven Tee #31002
Grainline Studio Tiny Pocket Tank #31001
New Look 6939 Shift Dress in Alexander Henry print
Updates!
Vogue 9772 Swiss Dot Summer Tops
Vogue 9745 Flat Front Pants - November
In the next week I expect to finish one more project, catching me up in this eighth month of the year. After I have completed this entire group of twelve, I will try to add the duster coat, finish the Pastille alterations, the black/white wool dress, and I think that will be it for the year. So what if I didn't do exactly what I set out to do? I have done a lot.
In addition, I also completed two "practically worn every day" necklaces and have nearly finished my first quilt.
Coming up: the posted reviews w/ pictures!
The Fabrics - a reminder
I am impressed with what you have sewn and crafted this year. I know, from my own experiences, what roadblocks life and work can throw you. Plans are like maps and sometimes you decide to take off on a new road you have never saw before.
ReplyDeleteNice selection of garments and you are making dandy progress. Some months just go better then others right?
ReplyDeleteI am in the process of planning my fall/winter wardrobe and it's tough to keep it down to a attainable amount-lol
