I have been sewing, honest. But I don't have anything fabulous to show for it.
My tights are too dark, my shoes are completely the wrong color and they dress needs a bit more styling.
But - does that stop me from wearing it? No, it's just stopped me from blogging about it. In the case of the Rivermont, I actually made the dress again and I really super love that version - even if it does highlight my tummy just a bit too much.
So - what else have I been doing, but not blogging about?
1. sewing for Eleanor. She got an entire winter wardrobe filled with leggings, onsies and flannel jumpers. Then she got a mini summer wardrobe - couple of pillowcase dresses, a onsie (which promptly had to be cut into a tee because she's potty training), and some shorts.
2. Jay's shirts - they just keep being made. I cut a bunch, then sew them up in color stories. I've added 3 blue shirts and then 3 Patriotic themed shirts to the closet this year. He also got another motorcycle shirt before we went on vacation.
3. We've gone on 2 vacations.
4. Knitting - I have several new shawls and a cardigan that need blogging.
5. Wide legged pants and an Ogden cami - I wasn't thrilled with either of these and rather than make pattern alternations and make them again and again until I was happy, I moved on to something else.
6. Button front shirt - see notes on #5 above.
This year - I've realized that I'm flitting from pattern to pattern and not ever making anything that I'm really happy with. I just sew it up once and then move on. Working on correcting that.
What stops you from blogging?
