Haven't done anything with my other two goals though. Working extra eats up too many of my available spoons. This week should be a little calmer, so even if I don't get as much of a chance to show off my me mades, I might have more time for working on WIPs and/or UFOs. Not to mention the wardrobe assessment I wanted to do.
This first outfit is a RTW t-shirt matched with a (slightly wrinkled) gored skirt made from Favorite Things Cute Skirt pattern. The fabric is a quilting cotton that was in my stash for years before I decided to use it for this skirt. I really like the pattern, should see if I can located it so I can make another one (a lot of my sewing stash-materials and patterns are still in storage - last move was a disaster!).
This second outfit is mostly RTW accessorized with a Clapotis. I have actually made this pattern twice. This was the first one, and I made it mostly because I had 3 skeins of this Lorna's Laces Lion and Lamb in the Black Purl colour way, that I absolutely had to make something from. And what do you know, the Clapotis was a very popular pattern right about then. The second was also in Lion and Lamb (Devon colour way), but I had splurged on four skeins so the second version is slightly larger. It might yet show up this month.
I have to admit, even though I tend not to wear them, I have made lot of shawls/wraps/scarves. In fact they out number the (finished) garments. I really should make more of an effort to wear them, but some how accessorizing my usual t-shirt and jeans or yoga pants with a shawl seems, hmmm, a bit much. I really have gotten into bad habits with not working in the public view any more. It can be nice to know I could go to work in my jammies and it wouldn't matter, but I should work at looking a little more professional occasionally I guess.
That said, I'm heading out to the fabric store after work today to see if I can pick up some discounted stretch denim to make a trial pair of Ginger Jeans!
