Time is flying along!!
My aim for this January was sewing. Catching up on projects I've started, but not finished yet, and mostly getting things done for India.
I'm leaving for hols on Friday, so there's not much time left!! This is the list I had in my original blog post.
Things I'd like to finish for India:
1) Evening dress that's still on the mannequin. I finished this a couple of nights ago, but I've managed to see the side seams too tight, so my MUST DO job Friday morning is to sew looser new seams and seam rip the old ones!
2) Halter neck top in Hawaiian print. No progress, the self drafted pattern is not helping matters. When will I learn!!
3) Shorts in Hawaiian print. Just the (really aggravating) waistband and bottom hems to do.
4) Wrap around circle skirt in Hawaiian print. Haven't started this, and may just make one of my normal circle skirts on Friday. They only take a couple of hours! (<that's probably the nail in its coffin though!!)
5) Denim shorts. Not gonna happen. No time.
6) A couple of sheer blouses, time has not permitted, but I've got a half made silk top that I might find the time to put some bias binding on!
Knitting and Crochet
7) pink beret. Nope. Might take this with me.
8) green headband. Done a bit more, again, might take it with me!
9) cream scarf. Nope.
10) chunky blue scarf. Still nope!
I would say I'm failing quite badly at this months challenge!! I think a) I'm better at sewing things I need and b) I got distracted by upcycling some of Eric's old jeans into a slouchy bag and some aprons.
I have seen up a (beautifully easy) sheer, floor length, gathered over skirt though. Which is wonderful. I hope to share an easy peasy tutorial on it while I'm away! Internet dependant!
That's all folks, wish me luck with manic sewing Friday morning!
Jo :-)
P.S. has your sewing pile shrunk any this new year?
