Since January flew by in a blink of an eye, I am going to write down what I plan on making for this month.
#1 – Purse #2 for the charity auction. It is cut out and in process. DONE
#2 – Possibly a new hip purse for when I am working at the charity auction. I have a feeling this won’t get completed, but maybe I will have time… Not done – this one will have to wait
#3 – I want to do a Pinterest project a month, so two projects if I can. I am thinking about these two as possibilities:
Not sure on the color of the cardigan yet, though. This will also fit into the Self Love Sewing for February.
#4 – I have signed up to make an upcycled item for a blog tour. I know what I want to make, so I just need to get it done! DONE
#5 – I want to make a pair of red ponte leggings with a black leather tuxedo strip down the side. DONE
#6 – To match the leggings above I want to make a black top like this one, only with long sleeves, maybe a different hem line. It will be longer, since this isn’t quite long enough to cover the bum: DONE
#7 – Charity – I want to get through some fabrics I probably won’t use. I have a stack of fleece pieces that would make great hats, scarves or cowls. I could also make some baby sleep sacks. Sewing for charity and reducing the stash of unused fabric would be a real win. After the fleece is gone, I am going to start on making skirts or dresses for girls on the Pine Ridge Reservation with the woven fabrics I have.
So…that is the plan so far for this month. Lofty goals, but hopefully I can reach them!
Wow! I am jealous of your energy! And you work. I look forward to seeing this completed. And I love the blue purse you made. I included my blog below, but it hasn’t been updated in quite a while. Something I need to get back to doing.
Thanks, Susan! I do tend to overcommit myself to projects, unfortunately. I definitely have to learn to NOT do that, since I get a bit tired, as you can imagine!
Did you ever end up doing the Pinterest projects–the skirt and cardigan? I’d love to see them if you did! I love unique pieces like that!
I did not get to them yet. I still really want to sew them up, though. I ran into some other projects I needed to get finished up first.
