Well I have been seriously missing from the blog world for
some time. I have been busily working away revising for some exams, which I had
earlier this week. So now I am free! FREE! Free to do all the stuff I have been
avoiding doing for the last month or so, including, of course, Sewing!
And just in time frankly, as I have a number of time
pressured projects coming up, and a ridiculous number of seriously overdue
items, mainly owed to other people -Ooops!
So here is a quick recap of the things I am meant to be
doing (not in any particular order) ..
SSS11 photos - I
actually took half of these, but didn’t get round to finishing it, or putting
them up. Not that I imagine anyone really cares, but it would be useful to remind
myself of all the options-it seems a really long time ago!
Un-blogged projects
– I have a few of these that should be put up at some point! I have done (very)
slightly more sewing than it appears!
Un-finished projects
– ah the UFOs, many of the usual subjects, but some are getting really ridiculous
and are so close! The main victim is the Glee dress, it is getting for a year
that this has been 90% done and my flatmate waiting for it and I am putting my
foot down (possibly!) Also I half made a colourful dress that has been on
Agnetha for weeks now and I should move it on a bit (though I may have to reconsider
how to wear it now it’s no longer summer!).
Halloween! – I
have a number of costumes to make various bits of for myself and the flatmates, some of which will be more time and drama intensive than others!). I
am going to start earlier (than 5 hours before I needed 2 dresses) than last
year so it will be less stressful!
Present for Lindsey - I promised my flatmate I would make her something
as a birthday present, and I haven’t had time yet. She says she has something in mind so we will have
to work out exactly what she wants and get it made.
Pattern swap – I signed
up to be part of an international pattern swap on the Sew Weekly communitysite. We all sent each other patterns and other bits and pieces, and then we
are going to make something from the patterns. More on that in a bit.
Other projects -
(because that doesn’t sound like enough does it!) I really need some more
wintery clothes in my hand made wardrobe, as the temperature has plummeted. I
am considering a dark purple Ginger skirt, using some fabric my mum gave me last
year, and a long purple cardigan (sewing not knitting) that I bought some
double knit for last year but was too scared of knits to use. I am sad to say
that the pattern swap has reignited my pattern buying addiction, and I picked up
a few extras from Ebay, that could make some nice things. I am particularly
keen on a soft knit version of this:
