End of Winter Recap and Critique

I didn't sew one stitch this week! Hard to believe isn't it !

I got really bogged down in cleaning every square inch of my sewing room and it took me several days to sort through, reorganize, throw out and give away the hundreds of things we sewers accumulate..And wow! Does it ever feel good!

I'll be ready tomorrow to finish my jacket. Today, I thought I'd think over what I sewed since the beginning of Fall and see how I did in sticking to making pieces I actually wear. Here goes.

Here are my very favorite garments of the season.

Starting at top left, self drafted topper, M6355,Silhouette Patterns Giogio's Top,Burda style
I really like these and wear them a lot.

Brooke's top by Silhouette, M6355, Sweater Set by Silhouette, M6208

I like these a lot but haven't had a chance to wear them much.

Self Drafted Coat, Self drafted Christmas Top, M6355 Dress


Burda Style Dress, V8817 Top, Burda Style Pullover

I really don't like this and will never wear it even around the house.




Oh , I forgot this one




I like it a lot and am wearing it right now.

I should also mention the four pairs of Yoga pants I made using Silhouette Patterns  Three Piece Yoga Pant pattern. I wear them all the time and plan to make another one out of black stretch denim in the near future . I can't recommend this pattern too much. The seven ladies in my Sewing Group have each made two pair ( I had them all make a muslin first) and they all love them too!!!

In retrospect, I do think I was more careful in what I chose to make this season, There's really only the one thing that was a waste of time so I'm  happy to not have things clogging up my closet(s) that will never see the light of day.

Now I have to have a look at what you all have been sewing this week.

Hi there superb blog! Does running a blog such as this require
a large amount of work? I have virtually no knowledge of coding but I was
hoping to start my own blog soon. Anyway, should you have any ideas or techniques for new blog
owners please share. I know this is off subject
however I just needed to ask. Appreciate it!

Definitely believe that that you said. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the net the simplest factor to remember of.
I say to you, I definitely get annoyed at the same time as folks think about worries that they plainly do
not realize about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the entire thing without having side-effects , people
could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more.

Thank you
