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

                           Image taken from the Australian Academy of Image Facebook Page I t's a very long time since I have written a blog post.  Life has been very full but not full of the activities that I enjoy! In other words, sewing and allied activities have taken a back seat while life rather took over. I don't want to go into details particularly.  Of course, we all had Covid to deal wtih.  My husband and I are also self employed, so had stresses associated with that.  I got quite upset when people were enjoying Covid lockdowns so they could sew a lot!  Jealous, almost... And now we have a troubled world, with a war in Europe that shows no signs of ending.  The geopolitical stage is changing, along with the economic world, Much as I predicted it would 20 years ago. As for my  husband, he had a bout of this and that over the last couple of years.  I also have had a few health problems.  My husband has a number of medical issues he manages well, but he is quite demorali

2018 Make a Garment A Month Guidelines

Hello everyone, This is a slightly different post from my usual posts about garments I have made.  I will resume those next year...And I hope to get back to commenting and posting regularly.  2017 was a bit topsy turvy and challenging so I really found it hard to blog. This post is  a long and wordy post, quite unlike my usual picture and quick notational style that I use for my sewing posts. But sometimes lots of words are necessary... Anyway, without further ado, To Business Some of you know that I facilitate the Make a Garment a Month Challenge on both Facebook (closed group) and Instagram. And some of you don't.  Some of you are visiting this post because you found out about this challenge on Instagram and want to see what we are doing this year. And some of you may be regular readers of this blog but not know that I run this challenge.  And some of you will want to join in. Make a Garment a Month has been running for some years now.  It started with me mentio
