Mid-winter project catch-up

I wanted to post some of my more recent sewing projects. The projector has made sewing so fast and easy since I bought it almost a year ago. It got bumped a couple times this winter by my kids or myself, but re-calibrating it wasn’t very difficult. Looking back at my sewing projects since my last post, most have been Christmas stockings, but there have been a fair amount of clothes too, including several new projects for myself. I bought fabric to make new winter clothes 2-3 winters ago and finally used it!

New (free) tutorials and some sewing

It’s the first week of Spring and I’m spending more time outside in the sunshine and less time curled up under a blanket on my couch. I love this time of year and am trying to get our yard looking a little nicer. Last year we removed the rest of the yew bushes around our home and two large pine trees in our front yard. Consequently, our yard is pretty barren now.

Halloween and Holiday Sewing

Glancing back at my sewing since I last posted, I have not actually done a lot of projects compared what I normally do. I think the biggest reason is that I teach an early morning scripture study class to the high schoolers at church, and I am always tired. But I did manage to make some fun Halloween costumes, pretty Christmas dresses, and a few other things. Plus I made stockings for my seasonal stocking business.

October Update

After my last blog entry I managed to make a lot of new clothes for myself in a short period. It’s really nice to have some new warm weather clothes! Now I’m starting to think about new cool-weather clothes!

Summer Sewing

I can’t believe that we are just two weeks away from school. I was not really looking forward to this summer because I’m tired of people being around all the time, but it’s been pretty enjoyable. Unfortunately I have spent much of the summer suffering from back issues that make it painful to sit, so it feels like I have laid around half the summer! I did get a fair amount of sewing done at the beginning, and now that I’m finally on the mend, I can sit and sew for short periods, so I’m once again resuming normal activities, just modified.
