28 January 2015

Holy Guacamole People! I'm back and it's only been about three years. It's been a crazy ride here for my family and my blog kinda fell by the wayside (obviously!) as a result.
 
I'm back though, and I plan on sticking around this time. As such, I have decided that 2015 is going to be the year I really push myself, both in sewing and in life. I'm going to get out of my comfort zone and take risks and chances I would never have done in the past.
 
So to kick off this year, I am participating in the Sew Not Perfect Sew Your (Pattern) Stash Link-Up. The goal is to sew up all those patterns you've bought and have left lying around the house that you keep telling yourself "Oh I'll get to it eventually!" and then promptly forget about it. Seriously, I think I have about 40 patterns I have done that with. I think I have an issue. Every month has a theme, which can be found in the Facebook group here. The January Link-Up can be found here at Sew Not Perfect. More information is available to you at Sew Not Perfect and on the Facebook group. Everyone is welcome to join!
 
January's theme of the month is Women. I am doing two patterns, but only one has been sewn as of tonight. I know, I know, I need to get a move on the second one since it's already the 28th. Been a little bit busy lol.  All joking aside, here is this month's contribution from me.
 
This is the Blanche Barrel Bag from Swoon Sewing Patterns. Alicia is an amazing designer and extremely helpful! Her patterns are clearly written and go together easily. She has a Facebook group that is extremely active, just search Facebook and you'll find it easily.
 
Please excuse the horrible pictures, I cannot take a good picture for the life of me!


 
Stay tuned for the next installment of the Sew Your (Pattern) Stash 2015 link-up!
