Last Saturday I found and joined the 30/30 Sewing Challenge. I have to sew for myself for 30 minutes a day. Here's what I did:
- Work on my wool/silk blend skirt - I ran out of matching thread. Ugh!
- Work on my striped wool jacket - I don't have the right fabric for lining. Ugh!
- Look for a project that I can work on and finish in a short amount of time to raise my spirits - hand roll the seams on my striped voile cowl neck top - Finished!!! Ho-ray!
- Look around again so I keep the momentum going - rummage through all of my fabric to get inspiration - pick out a very un-assuming scrap of cotton that asked to be useful - draft and sew a cute micro neck scarf. Voila! Almost instant gratification.
Great job on 2 finished projects. That's so annoying when you want to sew something and don't have all the parts. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteI know what it is like to feel you do not have the right fabric, but I am an avid recycler, so Wed. is where I head over to the various 2nd Hand Shops in town and thank goodness they all participate in the same day 50%off day...But you did get two projects done, so you are working towards your goal......
ReplyDeleteit is so annoying to run out of thread half way through a project...but well done on keeping at it

Congrats on two beautiful finishes! Hope these have helped you to recover your sewing mojo! Great job!
ReplyDeleteLove the striped top, fabric shopping always helps me get out of a sewing stump, and it sounds like you need to do some shopping.
ReplyDeleteI like that striped top - perfect for spring! Good luck with your thread and lining search : ) Glad you're enjoying the extra impetus to get sewing with the challenge!
ReplyDeleteYou're doing a great job!
