Sewing
There really hasn't been much buzz in the sewing room this month. For myself, I've only made two items. Surprisingly, for me these are made from new-to-me patterns.
There was a vintage slip project gifted but I think I might need to make myself one if I'm ever going to feel comfortable wearing the dress I made. Then again, each time I try it on, I'm more convinced that it's really not my style. Sometimes, I foolishly follow trends that really don't work in the end. The polar bear print sweatshirt fleece long cardigan was my favourite make this month. It has seen much more wear than the dress.

Books
This book finally made it into my hot little hands, and could likely be the reason that there wasn't a whole lot of sewing this month.
Sadly, it's not. I've hardly cracked this book open. Yet. I hope to get to it shortly.
What's Next?
There will be some more sewing for others. A request came this week to make a cork handbag just like the one I made for myself last month.
And mending. I really need to tend to that growing mending pile some time soon.
One last note...
