Make a Garment a Month, November 30, more finished garments...


Hello everyone.

I can't believe another month has gone by so quickly - I didn't realise it was the 30th November today until I looked at the calender.

Many of you have already finished your garments and I posted them last week.  I have also posted any finished garments  in the November Gallery.

This week a few more of you have finished and I dare say one or two more garments will be posted over the next few days.

Here then are this weeks finishers:

Anna Dress made into a top.
GMarie intended to make the Anna dress, but instead made a top - read all about it at gmarie's blog.

Coco: cocosloft.blogspot.com

Vogue 1306 - little knit top
Coco altered some of the features of original pattern to come up with her adorable version.  Go and find out what she did here...

T-Gardens t-shirt
 Chris had a wadder with this little t-shirt - go and see what happened  here.  Wishing you better luck with your December garment Chris - and Chris has posted her December plans already!

Dorothy's snug new coat

The weather is getting cold in Dorothy's part of the world, and she has made this lovely coat to keep warm - more details here.

If I have missed anyone, please let me know by commenting below or emailing me stylishsarah251@gmail.com.

Next week I will start posting the December plans - some of you already have your plans blogged - and there are some gorgeous ideas on your blogs - lots of patterns I am sure some of us have looked at and want to make.

Wishing you all the best for your December garment...

Sarah Liz

      Hi Louise, yes, I read you were having a bit of a rest from sewing. Unfortunately, gorgeous as the socks are, they are not sewn - and this challenge is a sewing challenge. Just join in when you are back in the mood.

      I'm probably out by months, Judith - or so it feels :).

      Good luck with the elves - you may need to send them to a few of us out here when they have finished helping you.

      I'm glad it has helped with the motivation - your dress was quite difficult, so I'm glad you managed to finish it :)

    Love seeing all the participants and what they made!

    This is such a great challenge - it really cleared up my thinking of what I have more success sewing. Hint: Simple things that turn out right, since I'm not an advanced sewer. Luckily I like simple lines for the things I wear. :-)

      Hi, I think it is great you stepped out and challenged yourself - but it's also great that you know what works for you - and simple lines can be the most flattering sometimes :)

      Yes, it is, I can't believe it either :).

      I think if we all stick to simple things this month, we may all get to complete something.

    This year really has flown by so fast. It's hard to believe Christmas is only a few weeks away.

    When will this "Make a Garment a Month" begin again? Or can one jump in at any time? Sounds like fun!

      Hi Jolanda - I think you are not the only one doing this - it happens- but this challenge is more about keeping going even if it takes longer :)

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,
