Oh my! It's the end of March already? Although, I will admit that some parts of this month did feel like it dragged along.
Sewing, Alterations & Mending Projects
There were no new sewing projects that hit the cutting table or sewing machine this month. No Lenten sewing project. No new Easter outfit or bonnet. Instead, I was moping and aimlessly wandering about, wishing that I could sew. This behaviour was followed by some deep guilt that I let a cast on my right arm stop me from sewing after watching Gill on re-runs of The Great British Sewing Bee. A one-armed sewist made this incredible coat. I should be ashamed of my time wasted moping. And I am. I did alter a pair of rain boots proving that I can cut with a pair of scissors. I have no excuses. That's about all I made this month, excuses. Well today, the final day of the month, there is finally a pattern and some fabric on the table. And I did spend some time this evening with a seam ripper taking down the narrow hem from this top. Maybe next month I'll get back to some creative work.
Stash-busting
I managed to stash bust thirty-five plus metres of fabric. The yardage wasn't turned into wonderful wearable things... yet. I sold off some of my stash. Someone else, hopefully soon, will turn part of my treasured stash into wonderful wearable things. I did add four metres of merio wool to the stash this month. I'm hoping to turn the wool into wearable sweaters soon.
Happy Sewing!
