MMM2020 was a good distraction for the first part of the month. The pandemic certainly influenced how I dressed. First Me-Made-May that included face masks. I challenged myself to fill the one void in my wardrobe, a well fitting brassiere made out of natural fibre fabric. I can now check that one off the list.
Sewing wise, I'm trying to use what I have on hand and am happy to report this is another month that there was not new fabric added to the stash. With what I had on hand, I made 18 face masks, 4 scrub caps, 1 slip, 1 brasseire and 3 dresses. This is what has been de-stashed and used this month:
- 17.2 metres fabric
- 0.7 metres fusible interfacing
- 0.4 metres Knit 'n Stable tape
- 20.45 metres of seam binding
- 0.80 metres of elastic
- 2.6 metres of cord (recycled)
- 2 metres twill tape
- 14 buttons
- 2 previously used patterns
- 2 vintage patterns
- 2 PDF free downloadable pattern
It was a slow sewing month compared to April. An increase of face mask sewing requests presented itself this month just when I had less free time on my hands. I did what I could with the supplies I had remaining, since going out to a fabric store was the last thing I wanted to do. Boy, those are words I never thought I would type! With everything under the sun costing ridiculously more every time you blink, fabric and sewing supplies are a luxury item that I can't justify right now. Thank goodness for a sewing stash.
Stay Safe and Happy Sewing!
