Looking back - last 6 months.

Where does the time go.  I can't believe that we are at the end of July tomorrow and it made me think what have I achieved this year?

Well I had a few items on my todo list:

1. Make a Chanel style jacket
2. Make a bra
3. Make a pair of jeans
4. Organise my pattern stash

Well I made Chanel style jackets in April and May, my test jacket and then the one I made from my Linton Tweed for my sister's wedding.

My bra making journey started when I visited Sigrid in The Netherlands in June, I have now made 4 in total, and for two of them matching briefs.

I uploaded a copy of the Bento software and now have all my current patterns listed on there - I just need to do my vintage patterns now.

So my last item on the list is to make a pair of jeans.  There are some great examples out there for me to glean inspiration from, and I signed up to Kenneth King's jean class so hopefully I will be in good shape when I get going.

I spent a little time gathering my sewing accomplishments together on a month by month basis and here is a reminder of June and July.

June was clearly a productive month with 6 shirts (including mine), two cardigans and a bra, and a pair of trousers for me, however July found my time occupied with many other things such as travelling for work, BBQ's, birthday parties, zoo trips etc., but I still have some items to show.

Two bra lingerie sets and two shirts (doesn't seem a lot compared with June).

Before I used to blog, I would make things and almost forget about them.  I often find myself looking back on my blog or PR to remind myself  of what I have sewn, and am always pleasantly  surprised.

Catch you later...............
