March in Review

Sewing

Can you believe that there was sewing this month? It was a rough month, I worked on the dress that almost broke me and working through a sinus headache it took four attempts to get a waistband right. Yeah, four attempts! This was not a good month for sewing. In the end, I ended up with the pneumonia and two garments that I'm pleased with. At least there was a happy ending (the garments not the pneumonia).  

RTW Fast

This month I was tempted by an animal print wool sweater. I don't know why I was tempted by this cardigan sweater, animal print is not typically my style. I must still have a bit of that Jungle January fever that was going around. 

Mental note:  must stay away from stores during the end of season sales. Could be in danger of coming home with crazy things that I don't need like this:  

I did buy a pair of red leather shoes which is allowed. They have a one inch heel. I'm trying to be kinder to my knees. So, I'm thrilled to report that have not broken any RTW Fast rules. Three months down.  

Stash Busting

Oh my! I went shopping for fabric this month.  I went searching for kid-friendly print cotton to make baby onsies and instead I picked up 4.2 metres of a polyester knit with a fun print. And then there was some mint coloured silk on sale. Did I pick up any printed cotton for the onsies? No. I found some cute prints but the fabric quality was awful, so light and see-through. I left it at the store. I have way better options in solid colours in my stash.  

Well that is my month in review. Happy Sewing!
