April sewing plans

As always, this post is a few days late. However in my defense, until today I wasn’t sure what I wanted to make! I already have a busy month ahead so there won’t be a huge amount of time to sit and sew but it would be nice to tick a few projects off my list!

• make a waistcoat for Hayden. He is in a function band and we found a beautiful turquoise herringbone poly-wool in the local market that we both liked (and it was a bargain) and I have a pattern in the stash especially for this.
• Make a cushion for my sewing chair. I picked up some great flamingo upholstery fabric in Utrecht a few years ago that is waiting to be used.
• Make a pair of Sasha trousers from Closet Case. These were part of my March plans but I ran out of time to make them!

March in review

March was very productive! I made a workout top and leggings using the My Handmade Wardrobe Action Pack, an Itch to Stitch Lago vest for me, a Grainline Lark tee for me and a Burda Pete t-shirt for Hayden. Most of the fabric came from my stash but there is still a long way to go in reducing it down! I also made my Craftsmanship bag kit from Niizo Craft which will be on the blog soon (I love it FYI). I didn’t finish my embroidery project though – I need to try to make this a bit of an evening habit as I have some new projects I am really keen to start on but I’m on a self-imposed ban until my little raccoon is finished.
