Anyway, Scott's been sick this week so I've had time for sewing. I've made three pieces.
First off is a skirt. I got this fabric in the Castro district in San Francisco (in May '09). We're having a cold winter, so I was in the mood for sewing something sunny.
Next is a jumper. I rarely branch outside of skirts, and I've never worked with knit fabric before. I thought it might be a good travel outfit - super comfy, no wrinkles, can dress it up or down, can add layers to make it warmer or colder.
Lastly, today I sewed up another skirt. I've been making most of my skirts knee-length over the past year or so, but I went back to just below the knee on this one. The fabric was an impulse buy - 55% off at JoAnns. The trim cost more than the fabric, but that's not too unusual. And adding the trim took longer than the rest of the project put together, but I suppose that's not unusual either. I've recently discovered there's super-fun square dancing to be had in my neighborhood, so maybe this will work for that!
I have sewn a few other things in the past year that aren't up in the blog yet, maybe I'll get around to posting them, hopefully...
