The sewing cave really got a workout because the month started with a three day weekend and then I had four days off for MLK Day. The extra days allowed me to spend some quality time working on getting the Lavender and Gray Skies wardrobe finished since six of the eight pieces from the list were part of the final tally.
I used 19 yards of fabric and purchased 13 yards...more went out than came in. So that's a good thing! My main goal for January was to get as much of the wardrobe completed as possible and with only two pieces left to sew, I think I accomplished that. I have several items left on my sewing list that I really want to make before the soft breezes of spring show up and turn my head! Hopefully February will be as fruitful as January has been.
...as always, more later!
Wow - I struggle to get through one item! You are an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like you just whip them out, so much sewing so little time, fantastic job done with a passion. Can't wait to see you model all your outfits.
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed by your first two sentences. Eight pieces in one month! Actually, I'm not amazed. That's the way you roll!!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteI am always so impressed and amazed at how quickly you sew! This is a lovely wardrobe--what fun it will be to wear it.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress. You are cranking out some beautiful pieces.
ReplyDeleteYou really are amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou rock! EIGHT pieces in 31 days! I managed to finish two and cut 5, which are still sitting untouched after seven days later.... :)
ReplyDeleteMore fabric sewen than purchased? Way to go, girl! Those colors wouldn't work on me, but they will look great on you.
ReplyDeleteGlad you've had some time off. I've been working more than usual, so haven't had the energy to do much.
Thanks for mention. We all love to see our names in print and get credit for something, eh?

ReplyDeleteYour pieces are so beautiful and your productivity so inspiring that I jumped in and made a mini-wardrobe in a week! Still finishing the hem on one item, but when I'm finished I'll have five pretty new coordinated separates to wear.
