It was a slow start earlier in the month as I continued to feel under the weather. Despite this I did manage to get some sewing done. I finished the cape which I'm so proud of, it was quite the journey and I learned techniques that I longed to learn. It has to be one of the most rewarding sewing projects I've made. I didn't do any Lent sewing projects this year since I wasn't feeling all that well and wasn't coming home from work with a whole lot of extra energy especially after working overtime as well. It was nice to end the month with another lay-off to catch my breath and finally spend some time with the sewing machines.
RTW Fast:
Okay, I stumbled on my RTW fast journey this month. Sweaters have always been my downfall when it comes to RTW fasting. And this is where I stumbled this month, a cotton knit wrap and a cotton/cashmere cardigan. Yes, I could sew these items but I wouldn't have found similar fabric.

Happy Sewing!
A cotton cashmere blend sounds amazing! I haven't been doing much sewing lately but hoping to get back on the horse, you definitely got me beat!
ReplyDeleteI should admit that most of the work on the cape was done in February, I only finished it in March.
