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!

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.
Nice selection of garments and you are making dandy progress. Some months just go better then others right?
I am in the process of planning my fall/winter wardrobe and it's tough to keep it down to a attainable amount-lol
