There were big plans for National Sewing Month, I planned an autumn sewing list and hardly put a dent into it this month. Most of my time sewing was dedicated to hand-sewing samples work. I can't tell you how many times I wanted to abandon hand-stitching and run it through the sewing machine.

| Top L to R: Blue dress, Vogue 9060 and 1312; Pull-on pants, Simplicity 2372; Floral dress, Vogue 1410. |
I need to get back to work on the projects I neglected this month. Plus Mama R is waiting for another pair of pants and goodness she's been waiting ages for another top. Lots to do!
RTW Fast:
There have been several articles in the news lately about the consumer shopping trends. Most recently, the Financial Times wrote about the declining profits. With the state of ready-to-wear and the rise of athletic-leisure wear, did retailers think that consumers spending trends would remain the same as before?
Yup, mind blown.
Yup, mind blown.
