Week 4 Sewing

Last week was week #4 in 52 Weeks of Sewing and it was to sew something red.  So I mad a Valentines shirt.  It's really comfy and was super easy and quick to make.  I do need to shorten the sleeves.


And of course Trinity had to help me! LOL

Things I have been up to lately

I am in a Facebook group called 52 weeks of sewing.  They have prompts for each week on what to sew.  Of course if what the suggestion is doesn't work for you...you can do something else.

Week #1  Organize your sewing room


 Week  #2 Complete a UFO...no problem as I have a ton of these hanging out...

I choose to work on Gracie's blocks from a secret Santa I had participated in a number of years ago. I put solid blocks with them and made a flimsy, which sat around for roughly a year!!  So I got it out and finished it!  


Week #3 Make something from a pattern you have never used

So I dug around and found a lounge pants pattern and some fabric and worked on them...well let's just say it's been a looooong time since I've sewn clothing and read a pattern.  Needless to say I need to rip these out, as I sewed the legs for the waist...ugh... and do it correctly this time LOL

My goal this year is to accomplish getting these all finished.  A couple of them are not started yet, so I guess they really are not UFO's but are projects I want to complete.  A couple of them have certain time frames to be finished my.  So I will need to stay focused and consistent in my efforts this year.
