With the move and then subsequent wait for our belongings (which still aren't here yet!!), June was not a particularly productive month, but given the circumstances, I'm just grateful that I've had a chance to sew at all!
This month I made:
1)
Jalie 2805 tee for me
2)
Vogue 8503 top for me
3)
McCalls 5952 jeans for me
4) Emergency pajamas from
Ottobre 01/2010 #13 & 22 for Myra
5)
McCalls 5929 blouse for me
Total yardage was 10 3/4 of which only 4 3/4 were from stash. My favorite garment by far this month is my white jeans. I absolutely love them! I thought they'd be really impractical, but they really go with everything and so far I haven't managed to seriously stain them.
I try not to get to personal here on my sewing blog, but I've noticed the last few months that I haven't been as happy, both with my sewing and in general. I feel like I may need to make some priority changes and redirections. I'm mentioning this here because I've decided that I need to do more service for others, and my sewing is one area that is really going to be effected. In fact, next month I'm putting a complete moratorium on selfish sewing. As of today, everything that I craft will be for others. This won't be a permanent change, but I think I need the shock to my system and my family definitely needs the clothes! I have a long list of projects the I plan to do for them. Some of them might not be interesting enough to blog about (how many pairs of baby pants do you need to see?) or some may rate just picture posts. I hope you will all bear with me as I follow this journey, or if not, there are a ton of great blogs on the sidebar.
