It's the second day of of my favourite month of year, and I'm loving it so far! March always brings later sunsets, warmer weather & my birthday (yay!), and it hasn't disappointed thus far. I've decided to hold off writing a list for March, as I usually get tied up with events preceding my birthday on the 22nd, so I don't want to set myself up to fail already!
I've started 2 great projects that should occupy me through the month:
For week 2 of the Sew-along, Ali showed us how to cut out our fabric, plus arrange our darts & interfacing. She also sung the praises of the humble rotary cutter, so much so that I've bought one! And a self-healing mat to match! Photos to follow once Mr Postman delivers it...
So given that I'm not writing a to-do list for March, those are my ongoing projects.
What are your already WIP projects for March?!
Perfect colors to lift you out of winter doldrums. I love that marigold color. So happy.
ReplyDeleteYour fabric is looking great! You are going to *love* your rotary cutter - they make cutting so much easier!
ReplyDelete- that's funny, I've tried using a rotary cutter and I always feel like it gets away from me. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I always end up back with my scissors.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! What a great talent you have. I'm so very impressed. Glad you liked all of the green things on my post... isn't spring so exciting?!
ReplyDeleteI signed up for her sew-along too, and haven't even had a chance to get started! You are off to a great start though, I can't wait to see the finished product!
ReplyDeleteBag looking good. Love the retro needlaes as well!!
ReplyDeleteI love the orange yarn! I wanted to be part of the sew along but realized all my WIP--a baby quilt, a few (amateur) paintings for some birthday gifts, and bridal shower decorations (fabric garland mostly). The next one for sure--still following along--I like the purple fabric, too!
ReplyDeleteAmy, just finished mine last night and will post about it on the Monday update. I was just here to tell you that the top opening is a bit small (as someone said in the comments on the original pattern site) so if you're not that far on make sure you pick up loads of stitches around the top edge!!
ReplyDeleteI have never had the desire to knit, but that picture of the orange yarn against the green needle has come closest anything ever has to making me change my mind.
ReplyDeleteHow are you getting on with the rotary cutter? I always think I'll take my finger off if I get one!
ReplyDeleteI love that color purple that you are using for your skirt!! It kind of makes me wish I was that brave! :)
