I haven’t been blogging but I have been sewing. The black dress-a-thon is over. I finished the 2 dresses and matching handbags. I made 2 more pairs of jeans (black and purple). I tackled the recycled sweater project, armwarmers and hats for all. I made a velcro mount for the U-lock on my bicycle. There were probably some t-shirt refashions in there as well. All of this occurred before the new year.
This year’s projects include 2 new pairs of jeans (blue). I am supposed to help a friend make a pirate costume. I think I am teaching a class in March.
Why haven’t I updated? Laziness and a new project. I am rebuilding a bicycle.
