Long time, no post! I've been a busy girlie. But not the good sewing and knitting kind of busy, unfortunately!
My plan was to join in with me made May this year. One year on from when I began dressmaking, I have enough handmade clothes to attempt wearing at least one piece a day. What really happened was that I was so distracted by life that it was half-way through May before I realised. D'oh!
I have the best excuse though ... I'm pregnant.
With the pregnancy making me feel permanently hungover, it was a challenge to get up in the morning and make it to work without losing my breakfast, let alone thinking about blogging my handmade clothing choices. But the good news is, the morning sickness seems to have passed and I'm back to feeling relatively normal. I'm obviously very excited, but also nervous and scared at the same time. At the moment I'm taking every day as it comes.
However, what this does mean is that there is little point sewing clothes. I can't seem to find any enthusiasm for dressmaking when I know that garments might only fit for a short while during my pregnancy. All my plans for denim delphine skirts and floral shirt dresses have gone firmly out the window. Well, at least for the time being.
However, I do have some other sewing projects in the pipe line, which will hopefully be blogged when I find the time!
Hope everyone is enjoying the lovely weather at the moment and are busily planning their summer wardrobes?

congratulations! glad you are feeling better, i'm really excited for sewing my summer wardrobe! i picked up some fabric for a By Hand London Holly jumpsuit this morning which I'll get started on soon. which projects have you got on the go? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Beth! The Holly pattern looks great, which version are you planning to sew? I like the trousers too ... good luck with your summer sewing! The only summer sewing I have planned is another moneta dress. I'm also making a bowtie for my father-in-law and have plans for a shirt for my husband! Plenty to keep me busy.
Deletei'm going to make the shorts version in the hopes that some sunny weather will soon appear! :) i hope all your sewing goes well x
DeleteCongratulations, there are so many baby clothes patterns out there - etsy is brilliant for PDFs which can keep the sewing addiction up! (I have no children but I have 8 nieces/nephews under 5 so I try to make a lot of clothes for them to keep xmas/birthday present costs down!) :)
