I hadn’t quite leapt on the sewing bandwagon when Sarah started her Summer Sewing challenge, but when I saw she was Winter Stitching, I decided I’d sign up, mainly so that I too could have a pretty mosaic at the end of the time showing all my finished work :o)
The premise is quite simple, write a list of all that you have/want to do by mid March, and at that time show all that you accomplished. I started writing a list the other day for a ‘getting to know you’ question on the Flickr group for Piece Bee With You, and realised my list was a tad scary. Then I realised I’d forgotten a few things too… Anywho, here it is:
- 1 commissioned teddy bear – almost completely sewn and ready for jointing and stuffing
- 1 teddy bear for a raffle at GYTBE – marked out on the fur and ready to go
- 1 zippered pouch tutorial for my guest blog post on Sew Happy Geek next week – I have most of the bits, and a plan, just need to make it and take photos this weekend!
- Bee blocks for Piece Bee With You for October, November, January, February and March – October is 2/3 complete
- Bee blocks for Sew Bee Joyful for October, November, January, February and March – I have fabric pulled for October, and a plan, but that’s it so far
- Wall hanging for the Table Runner and Wall Hanging swap – fabric is pulled, and wall hanging designed
- 4 redwork blocks for a special project – patterns are traced, and fabric and thread bought
- 2-4 cushion covers for my gran for Christmas (I’ll need to see how easy they are) – thread for Big Brother’s Little Brother (aka the overlocker) and cushion blanks have already been bought
- 1 bird mobile for my granny for Christmas – birds are cut out and ready to be sewn, twigs still need to be collected
- 1 dress for me for the Christmas party – I have fabric, and am planning to use the Party Dress book for the pattern
- 1 skirt for mum – all the materials are ready to go, just need to draw up a pattern using the Sew What Skirts book
- 2 skirts for me – fabric already on hand, pattern to draw using the Sew What Skirts book and notions to buy as requires
- Panda girl to finish
- 1 lunch bag tutorial – as this came 2nd in the poll I ran, although this might be a new year project!
- 1 skirt and tunic for me – another cord one, this time in burgundy, using a Burda magazine pattern, and a tunic that I already have all the fabrics etc for, and even have the pattern traced, from Sew Serendipity
- A large pile of bags. I have loads of patterns etc drawn out, and piles of fabric, so I may be having a very merry January and February working on these :o)
- 1 coat for me – this may be totally pie in the sky! I’d love to be able to make a coat from the pattern in Sew Serendipity in this fabric
So not much on really… Actually, I’m heartened by the number of things I’m already pretty much on top of, so lets hope work co-operates, and my time is managed as successfully as I hope :oD
Ooh, this is a nice, long list — it'll be fun checking things off as you finish them. 🙂
That is quite a list. Can't wait to see your projects unfold.
Hugs
thats what I like to see… A good whopper of a list! Good luck!
You've got too much energy, I can't keep up. I can't wait to see some of these as they get crossed off your list.
I've also got a couple of projects in Sew Serendipity earmarked for future projects. And I've had Sew What Skirts for at least 3 years, but asked me if I've made a skirt.
Lots of fun stuff on there! I love seeing the ambition!
wow – another doozy – good luck with all of this! while reading through everyone elses list i founds things i should have put on mine – going back to edit right now – still don't think it'll be as long as this though!
Enough to keep you busy there! I look forward to seeing your pretty mosaic at the end! 🙂
That's some task you've set yourself – looking forward to seeing how you get on…good luck!
Ooh a lovely long kist and you seem so organised! Can't wait to see how you get on with it 🙂 thanks for linking up!
Impressive list! Can't wait to see some of them!
I think that list is totally manageable. Can't wait to see the finishes.
