with my 100 days of stash-busting underway, I decided that I needed to finally use some dressmaking fabrics in my stash. The coco dress is a pattern I was given as a gift over a year ago and have somehow not managed to find the time to make!
The hundred day project begins on Tuesday 3 April!
My chosen project is to spend 100 days stashbusting.
I’ve scaled down my makes recently for an upcoming birthday. Having found Kirsty Hartley’s second book (Wild Things To Make) in a local shop, I decided to begin with a simple A line girl’s dress to begin with.
Another month, another sew my style pattern complete! This month was Cali Faye’s Valley Blouse.
Slowly getting more of this gift completed day by day…
I decided to focus on making the pole for the rings to stack on before making another ring. I’m not sure it’s that sturdy though so I may add interfacing to the circular base but will leave this until the end.
I’m definitely one to hoard fabrics and then deliberate endlessly on what the best project will be for every piece.
I can’t believe it’s nearly the end of June! I cut out the fabric for June’s make at the very beginning but found myself actually constructing it towards the end of the month, assuming I still had loads of time. This month, it was back to knits.
May flew by (although that seems to be my reflection every month..) and another me made May has finished. This year, I pledged to wear at least one handmade garment every day.
