Back and Sewing
Hello everyone
I've been back from Residential School for a few days. It was quite a long session - 7 full days of lectures, plus 2 days to travel to the University. Very intense, as there was a lot of new material to learn. I was so tired that I couldn't do much for a few days - except of course the chores. And we were told by our lecturer to enjoy the weekend as we had been so busy. so I started making my Marcy Tilton jacket, which is also my garment of the month for the make a garment a month challenge.
I am making the long sleeve version. Progress was slow over the weekend due to my tiredness, but it is slowly coming together. I was at work yesterday, and studying today - so I am now sewing a bit each day - yesterday I made up the sleeves, tonight I will set them in, then the next stage buttonholes, and buttons and finishing. I hope to be able to show you the completed garment on the weekend. It does look good...
I've already enjoyed catching up with your blogs, so now I am off to set in those sleeves...
Bye for now

SarahLiz, You certainly have done a better job at staying on line while so busy at uni. Your being back at uni is really exciting.
ReplyDeleteI'm still getting back to reality from travel.
Looking forward at your version of this jacket because I'd love to make it too but for Spring. Cheers.
Travel is just as exhausting as Uni! Yes, this will look lovely as a Spring jacket.
DeleteImpressive output SarahLiz!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteYou have been busy, SarahLiz. So exciting you are again pursuing your Uni dreams. Sometimes I do a tiny bit of sewing every day, just to keep the sewing mojo going during busy times. I am sure the lovely jacket will be finished in no time!
ReplyDeleteYes, little and often is a good way to go :)
DeleteI am so impressed with the way you are juggling so many different different things! The jacket will be lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lisa :)

Sewing will be a welcome break from all the lectures and studying -- enjoy it!
Thank you Annie - you are right, sewing is a good break from study :)
DeleteWow, makes me tired just reading all you have accomplished! Can't wait to see the finished jacket.
