January is normally a good sewing month for me. Usually I take several vacation days at the beginning of the month and there is a three day holiday (Martin Luther King Day) that allows additional sewing time. This month I even gained a snow day. It didn't hurt that I only sewed basics this month...no complicated designer knock-off...no new pattern to figure out...just regular ole simple sewing. So nine garments made it from flat fold fabric into my closet.
Two lined dresses...

I used 13.5 yards of fabric...loads of pretty linings and a little piping to get these new basics into my wardrobe. I also had two pretty good photo shots with my camera & tripod. Now all I have to do is learn how to work the remote with it. I'm finally comfortable goofing around the house with the camera/timer/tripod set-up but I will need to get a lot better so that when spring comes, I can slip in and out of the house quickly with everything!
February will have more of the same type of sewing. Although I'd like to work on a few more pieces from the Crazy 8 wardrobe...talk about dragging out a sewing project! *LOL* There's another three day weekend in February so I'm looking forward to more quality time in the sewing cave.
Anyway here's to my sewing adventures in February...hopefully they will be as creatively fulfilling as my January ones were.
...as always more later!
