Note to self

Cut out all possible sewing patterns before the last 10-12 weeks of pregnancy. Sitting and cutting is AWFUL right now. I just want to get some sewing done before the baby comes. My legs are killing me at the end of every day. yuck.

Old year/new year

I'm trying to decide what to start for the new year of sewing. All the fabric in the house is officially stash fabric. Lots and lots and lots of it. That's OK though. I'm going to use it. Most of it has been sorted and it's easier to see what I have. So much of it was my mom's. :(

I think I'm going to finish some projects in my mend/UFO boxes and work on the diaper bag first. Over all, I'd like to use a yard from the stash for every yard I buy. Using 2 yards would be best budget-wise. It's a lot of fun to keep track of this info as well as being pretty motivating. Here's all the info from last year.

  • 16 3/8 yards out
  • 58.5 yards to date added
Completed sewing projects
  • tunics, robes for WLCD puppets
  • 4 Christmas dresses
  • Holly jammies for H
  • shirt for L
  • several pads
  • 3 bibs
  • skirt and shirt for H
  • pink diaper for O
  • 2 leotards
