It has been a whole year since i last posted here. 😦
Alas life happens and we just have to keep moving. Social media becomes an after thought.
I had some health issues which made me reasess and take stock of where my energies needed to be better placed.
But now i am tentatively coming back into social media though in a more laidback manner than before. Attempting a better balance. Only time will tell if i succeed.
So we have entered a new year.
Cant say a lot has changed from the previous, Bojo is still an utter plank, Covid is here to stay, & we all appear to have entered a period of lethargy & lack of motivation heretofore unheard of.
However this month brings with it new instagram challenges taking place in March which have many of us buzzing with excitement.
One in particular was a favourite of mine last year and is back!
As per my last post a whole year ago, Frugal Frocks is back for a second year running though now known as #sewfrugal22.
You can sew any garment you wish, as long as its for a human and a free pattern. So that means free to anyone, no freebies with a magazine or book (you paid for those so not totally free) and not a gift from someone else.
Also no doggy or kitty outfits, sorry folks. 🤷♀️
Ruan: @The Yorkshire Sew Girl and Sam: @Frugalisima ask that completed outfits not be revealed until the 31st March.
If you wish to show your wip/s please use the hashtag #sewfrugalwip
I have several ideas percolating in the old brain stem.
Ive found multiple free patterns online as pdf’s and also self-drafting ideas.
I could find myself getting a bit carried away so i have gone through my fabric stash to narrow down my options.
I’m trying to keep things simple this year. Yes, go ahead and laugh.
I really hope i do but best wishes and all that pizazz
Currently arguing with my printer which works. My pc just cant seem to find it even though its physically connected via a cable. 😡🤬
I may have to reevaluate my existing plans and attempt self drafting…😰
Another thing on my list for this month is to crack on with creating a folder listing my fabrics, length etc with swatches.
Ive already begun a board on trello to keep a record of my patterns. Not entirely convinced i will have either of those completed before the end of the year. LOL
Far too many of both. Its like trying to create a master list of the british library. Im one woman folks!
Is it too early for a drink? Asking for a friend 🤔😂
This was just a spontaenous check in. and to prove i’m still very much around. Hope to make more regular updates here on the blog.
Let me know if there is anything specific you would all like me to blog about or show you.
All the best my fabric friends.
im off to peruse the stash in the Den of Stitchery and hope i can kick my pc into touch.
