It really hasn't been a productive month of sewing considering that I'm currently laid-off from work and I had big plans to make a Chanel-esque cardigan jacket.  I can't really say that my sewing mojo has been on vacation, more that I'm taking it easy on my hand which has been prone to swelling around my wrist. Even though I've been taking it easy, I did manage to get a few items done.

My favourite would be the outfit I made for the "Inspired by Books" contest hosted by Pattern Review.  

RTW Fast

Once again, I failed at my RTW fast pledge. It happened when I needed a swimsuit for an aqua fit class that popped up before I had time to even consider sewing one. Thankfully, that was last weekend and I scored a suit on the clearance rack.
