November in Review

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.
