It's hard to believe that it's the end of July already...August and Fall are just right around the corner! So it's time to do another monthly recap. The month of July is always good to me sewing-wise. I don't know if it's because the days are longer so I have more energy or because there is a holiday at the beginning of the month, or what? But my productivity is always a little better around this time of the year.This month I completed four garments and started two others. I purchased some fabric during the latter days of June that arrived in July but it wasn't an exorbitant amount for me! *LOL* So I'm okay on that front.
However, to me July was about finishing the Gelato collection and adding some much needed color to my work wardrobe - a goal I successfully completed. And this year it was about fall too! You can tell there is a recession going on because retailers seem to be pushing Autumn earlier this year...or is that just me?
Anyway, I'm looking forward to fall/autumn sewing...I've got a plan and 9 days off from work in September so I'm ready.
A parting shot...The Little Prince is now 4.5 months old!
As always....more later!
Yes, you were extremely productive in July and the Gelato Collection was/is awesome, love all the pieces.
ReplyDeleteHow could I forget, the little Prince is sooooooooo cute.
ReplyDeleteNice production this month. The Prince? He gets better looking all the time. We too are getting a Prince in January.
ReplyDeleteOoh, baby pics! Omigosh that baby is handsome. Takes after his beautimous grandmother. And yeah, nice sewing production this month.
ReplyDeleteYou had a very productive month.

Aww...I also washed my twin DD's in the kitchen sink! They felt safe and no bending over.
ReplyDeleteHe is so precious! I love the collection, especially the Chadwicks dress. Impressive...

Wow! that's quite a fall line up. All of your fabrics and pattern choices are splendid. Knowing you, you'll accomplish it, too. Right now I'm trying to look just one thing at at time - and I'm having trouble getting that done! And... the "little Prince" is Precious!
