Sewing, Alterations and Mending
Sewing activity was slow at the sewing machine but it was busy at the cutting table. I managed to cut out more projects than I actually sewed this month. I did manage to sew a copy-cat body sock with long sleeves to wear as a pajama top when wearing the scoliosis back brace. It's been on my want / need to sew list for awhile so it felt good to get it done. And I refashioned a turtleneck dress into a wool skirt.
Mending has also been taking a back seat to project cutting and pretreating fabric. This vest needs a button reattached and there is a hole in a pair of socks that have been neglected this month.
Stash busting
This month I stash-busted two metres of fabric, 1 metre of elastic, two spools of thread and recycled a dress into a skirt. There was one new pattern addition into the stash, OOP and vintage McCall's 2465.
Stand strong, elbows up and keep sewing.
