Sewing, Mending and Alterations
 |
| Clockwise top L: cotton sweatshirt fleece baby onesie OOP and vintage McCall's 7367, wool and polyester skirt Daughter Judy pattern no. 407 (Henry skirt), cream coloured cotton fleece and gray merino wool saddle covers for a scoliosis brace (no pattern used), cotton pants OOP Vogue 1739. |
Surprisingly, there was some sewing this month. Even though I felt like I spent most of the month coughing up a lung or two, I did get some work done at the sewing machine. Two items were gifted, the skirt was a fail (I got the sizing all wrong) and the saddle covers were the best thing I sewed this month. Oh wait, it's probably tied with that cute little baby onesie.
There wasn't a lot of mending and alterations done this month other than I managed to fix a couple of small holes while continuing to edit the wardrobe. A shout out to Brace Buddies for designing the body sock tank top. I am now able to wear the brace and sweaters (jumpers) without the worry of damage them with the velcro straps on the brace. And best part, they are made with cotton knit. Maybe, I can try to copy this design and add a couple more down the road. We'll see.
Stash busting
This month I stashed busted 6.4 metres of fabric, half a metre of twill tape, one snap, one label, one vintage button, one hook and eye set, three spools of thread, three sewing patterns and 0.6 metres of elastic.
Stand strong, elbows up and keep sewing.
