June in Review...

Things have been pretty quiet at the sewing table recently with the exception of a few mending projects.  After work there just hasn't been time nor the energy to sew.  The desire is there and I do dream about sewing a few things when I do have the time.  If I ever find the time.  

I did manage to sew one dress this month only because most of my summer wardrobe does not fit.  


And I found a new home for the serger that was recently offloaded to me.  It wasn't working and even though it did benefit from a good oil treatment, it did need to go into a shop for some professional tender loving care (TLC).  It requires an investment of cash that happened to be out of my budget range to get it in working order.  Too bad my skill set doesn't include serger repairs, it would have been a welcome addition to the sewing table.

Year in Review

Well, I guess I will start with some stats.  In 2024, I focused on two things, sewing from the stash and no more polyester.  Let's start...
