Overall:
Woah. I hit a bit of a roadblock in November. I sewed only 5 things; half as much as I have been lately. I do love the three tops I sewed though. And we will say that holidays, illnesses, and massive schoolwork have contributed to the decline this month.
I've also been discouraged by poor fabric and poor fit. I need a source with a balance of affordable but quality knits. I have tons of patterns marked to go, just no suitable fabric and self-doubt in my abilities.
December is the last month of my resolution totals for this year. I need to step it up and finish with a bang!
If I made as much as you, I'd be giving myself a pat on the back! I know what you mean about knits though. I have to do most of my fabric shopping online and it's impossible to know what quality the knit is before it arrives. They vary a lot. I find cheap knit very difficult to sew - and I usually don't want to wear the finished garment either!
ReplyDeleteThanks Philippa. Those darn knits. I do almost all my shopping online too - not much for selection in my rural area. The variance is crazy! Why can't they just tell me online - this is see through and thin - or this is thicker and wonderful! lol
DeleteThis is really great to see it all on one page! Very productive. I feel compelled to make something once a week unless it's really involved. Sometimes I try to give myself a break but then I start having withdrawals! Lol
ReplyDeleteThanks Shirley Ann, I'm the same, I feel like I need to make at least something once a week or I get the itch really bad! lol.
