So it's day three of KCWC, but no sewing today. There is a sleep deficit that is taking priority over sewing tonight. But I'm pretty pleased with what I achieved on days one and two.
Snatching sewing time here and there (A has had some decent daytime naps, although the hours of 4am to 6am are somewhat rocky right now) I've finished a little shirt for C and started altering a pair of denim pants that he doesn't like to wear (too baggy).
As Meg said on her blog yesterday, as kids get older and their clothes get more detailed, an hour of sewing a day can't achieve finished garments. So true! But I do find that having my dedicated craft space back, so I can leave projects and materials laid out, means I can sit down when ever a short snatch of time materialises and get on with a bit of pinning or sewing or pressing.
Or even seam ripping, recutting a collar, or stuffing up buttonholes if you're a bit sleep deprived.
If it's a small consolation, I'd do everything in that last sentence after a full, interrupted night's sleep.
ReplyDeletethat shirt is amazing! and many, many hours of work. nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThis little shirt is just so smart. It's obvious how much care went into it! I opted to stay up late for several nights, but yes, it seems as though more mistakes are made in the wee hours of the night for me, so now I plan to stick to well rested sewing during the daytime. Excellent job!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so nice. And lots of work went into that shirt. So nicely done.
ReplyDeleteSaw this on Elsie Marley and LOVED it!!! Well done! (And beautiful blog!)
ReplyDeleteI haven't been brave enough to attempt a button up shirt. This little number has gotten me sufficiently inspired! Great work.
