Make a Garment a Month, More October Completers.


A couple of days into November I posted the Make a Garment a Month Challenge for the October completers.  You can see the post here:

http://sarahlizsewstyle.blogspot.com.au/2013/11/make-garment-month-challenge-october.html

Today I am adding those that had not published their posts by the time I published - quite understandable :)

I do encourage you all to visit each other's blogs - I am just posting one picture for each completer (unless more than one garment is made for the challenge, or they have been collaged) - you will find a lot more interesting pictures and information at each contributor's blog :).

I have also posted a Gallery which you will find at the top of this blog - just go to the top bar to locate it.

If I have missed anyone (quite easy to do) please do let me know.

Also, I want to let you know that I will be away Friday to Tuesday, but I have the Make a Garment a Month Post scheduled for Saturday - with updates about November sewing plans from all of you who publish posts before Wednesday and will be able to respond to comments.  Some things are sacrosanct :).  Any plans posted after Wednesday (which may be Tuesday where you are) will be added to next weeks update.

So, being added to the Gallery are:

Firstly, Sherry - and my big apologies Sherry, for not posting your garment on Saturday - thanks for telling me.  And Sherry has just started a blog, so please do say hi to her.



Okay, let's start:

Hello Sewing Blog readers, Life caught up with me in quite a way over the last few years and had no time for blogging. In the meantime, the world has changed enormously, both in everyday reality and in the virtual reality of social media.  Many sewers now post on Instagram. I enjoy Instagram, very much in moderation.  Too much, and I soon overload and switch it off for a while. Perhaps because of more "instant" types of social media, sewing bloggers seem to have discontinued blogging and swapped platforms. In the meantime, I am left wondering if anyone reads sewing blogs any longer. If you do, perhaps you could leave me a comment and tell me what you like in a sewing blog or what sort of posts in a sewing, style and fashion blog (and perhaps allied crafts)  you want to read. That's it for now, over to you for your comments, Take care Sarah Liz

Just a Blog Post - Thank you for your Replies - What's Coming Up on SarahLizSewStyle

 Hello to all my Sewing Friends in Sewing Blog Land, I promise I will get back to pictures and sewing content next week.  I am sorry it has taken me so long to reply to your comments.  Life has been busy here (what's new) and some exciting things to share with you are in the pipeline. First though, I am really glad there is an audience for sewing blogs still.  I myself prefer more detail and often look up a pattern on a blog to see more detail, if I find a post on Instagram.  It seems a lot of you prefer more details as well. Going through your comments, a few themes emerge: With pandemic or age related life style changes many of you do not know what to sew or have stopped sewing. Instagram does not allow much in the way of sewing detail so some of you read blogs because you like more detail and information - in other words actual sewing content, along with time to read them because you can find them over time. Pattern reviews, along with  information about the pattern, fabric use,

2015 - My First Post! a little skirt...

Happy New Year everyone - I hope all your sewing dreams for the year come true:).  I'm not really sure that this is a 2015 garment because I finished it yesterday - New Year's Eve, so I really think it is the last garment of 2014. I'm glad I finished it "last year" because this skirt used pieces of fabric retrieved from a wadder.  Things like that annoy me - I like ticking things of the list and putting things in order.  So, I decided to try a new style of skirt - a gored skirt, because I could cut it from the small strips of fabric I had. The fabric is a cotton poplin, originally from Spotlight. There were two contenders, a Vogue Pattern, and  Burda Pattern: Vogue 7937. Burda 6895. I chose the Burda pattern because I have a very straight-ish  sort of shape and I thought this might suit me better than the Vogue pattern.  And I also wanted to see how Burda skirt shapes work on me. It's a six gore slightly pegged skirt. I cut size
