Time again to review some of my sewing projects recently. Apparently it’s been quite a few months since I checked in! Here are some kid clothes I made last year, most for my 5yo, but also some for my daughters.
Read MoreGlancing back at my sewing since I last posted, I have not actually done a lot of projects compared what I normally do. I think the biggest reason is that I teach an early morning scripture study class to the high schoolers at church, and I am always tired. But I did manage to make some fun Halloween costumes, pretty Christmas dresses, and a few other things. Plus I made stockings for my seasonal stocking business.

I was not really looking forward to this summer because I’m tired of people being around all the time, but it’s been pretty enjoyable. Unfortunately I have spent much of the summer suffering from back issues that make it painful to sit, so it feels like I have laid around half the summer! I did get a fair amount of sewing done at the beginning, and now that I’m finally on the mend, I can sit and sew for short periods, so I’m once again resuming normal activities, just modified.

But mostly, it’s been over a year of pandemic with my kids home all the time (they currently only have two days in school in person each week) and I’m just really mentally sapped. We’re about to begin summer and I never plan on getting much work done during summer vacation. However, I have a new pattern coming out in June, and some others pretty far into development, so maybe I’ll surprise myself?

I have also spent several Saturdays working on cordless Roman Shades for my living room. I also managed a couple dresses for my daughter.
