Life Update: Compassionate Deadlines, Spoons, and a Hole-y Foot #sewing #life #sewingplans

So, it feels a bit strange, but we are now over 1 year into the official pandemic-ness of the pandemic, a quarter of the way through 2021, and on what feels like a very uncertain but hopeful precipice looking towards the future. As a bit of a life update, I’m happy to say that I’ve been able to get both doses of the vaccine (due to employment status), and that the majority of my immediate family…

Pattern Review Sewing Bee Round 2: Repurposing Denim #prsewingbee #sewing #refashion #denim #jeansfromjeans

I made it to the second round of the sewing bee! This challenge was somewhat unexpected, but really interesting an inspiring – repurposing denim! We had to use denim from existing garments to make one new garment and one new accessory for the challenge.

Pattern Review Sewing Bee Round 1: Uniquely You Pajamas! #sewing #prsewingbee2021 #pjs #pajamaparty #deepstash

I made a set of “uniquely me” PJs in a week, and I’m really excited with the results. When the project of pajamas was announced last Monday morning, I can’t say I was surprised – it feels like a very 2020/2021 challenge! I’ve never…

Post Bee Thoughts and Upcoming Plans (Wardrobe Planning Post #10.5) #sewing #PRSewingBee

So it’s been a couple of weeks since the end of the Pattern Review Sewing Bee, and I have to admit I haven’t sewn a stitch since I finished my Round 4 project.  My hat goes off to so many of the other talented participants who’ve churned out incredible garments post-Bee; I just haven’t had the energy.  To be fair, the evacuation that happened during the middle of the last round really took the…

Pattern Review Sewing Bee Round 3: Reversible Garment #prsewingbee #Simplicity #reversible

I was super excited to have made it through to the third round of the Bee.  Last year was my first time participating and I made it to Round 2, but was out at that point.  It worked out for the best, perhaps, because last year the contestants in Round 3 had quite a challenging time with the designated pattern.  This year we were all anticipating being given a specific pattern to work from, so we…
