It’s been a while since I posted here. Does anyone still care? Anyone out there? This fall I started another blog, it feels like I’m cheating, in Swedish and I can’t decide if I want to blog in Swedish or English. I started blogging in Swedish to see if I could connect with other people in Sweden, but blogging in Swedish seems more like a chore than pleasure, while this blog is more pleasure. Perhaps the other blog will be killed as well (along with many other blogs I’ve started and ended, when will I learn that my Eitchy blog is my one true blog?).
Anyaways, to do a quick update on the fall. The machine’s back from the doctor’s, although I haven’t sewn a lot this fall. I don’t care for either buying or sewing maternity clothing and now with 3 months left, I don’t see the point. Therefore, my 2012 sewing in condensed to the first half of the year.
While pregnant I will try and figure out my personal style (as I did, with little success, the last time I was pregnant as well) so I know what to focus on later. Also, I will try and fit into all those clothes I made that don’t fit.
Onto the breakdown:
January: I started the year with my Lessons Learnt Skirt, which has since become a wardrobe staple, a success!
March: I sewed one dress during March, myPolka Dot Shirtdress. It was my first time sewing a collar and it turned out quite alright. The dress should have probably been in a smaller size, though.
April: In April I was preparing for Me-Made-May. I sewed my Leaf Skirt (ironically it ended up a bit on the larger side), which probably is my most appreciated and commented garment ever. I also sewed my Green Floral Blouse and my (unblogged) Moo Moo Tunic.
May: Another installation of Me-Made-May, which I successfully completed. During May I also completed two dresses, the Leaf Dress (sadly, too small) and the simple Sookie Dress. I also completed the Cassette T-shirt for my son’s 2nd birthday.
June: I sewed the Covergirl Outfit, consisting of a top and skirt. I also finished the Pink Lace Top.
July… I realised that very little of the clothes I had sewn actually fit, then I got pregnant and I stopped trying altogether. Perhaps now’s a good time to finished the garments in hope that they’ll fit by next summer.
September: I sewed the Megan Skirt and another unnamed, unblogged skirt. I see I have some potential posts here.
November: All that got sewn was a Christmas stocking for the kiddo.
December: I did a Christmas banner in cross-stitch. Will be blogged later.
Not the best year, not the worst year. My hope for 2013 is to finally find my personal style and sew accordingly.
Still around! And I can imagine that pregnancy could suck all of the energy for blogging and sewing out of you, so don’t worry about it being quieter here.
Sounds like a decent year all around. Wishing you all the best for the New Year!
Hi Becky! One can never imagine just how tiresome that first trimester can be. But for now I’m filled with inspiration and can’t wait to get working on my post-pregancy wardrobe.
