Happy Lent Everyone,
While this is not a religious blog, here is my small departure to my religion (Christianity)
Webster’s Dictionary describes Lent as a period of 40 days before Easter during which many Christians do not eat certain foods or do certain pleasurable activities as a way of remembering the suffering of Jesus Christ. This year the Lenten season lasts from February 10, 2016 to March 24, 2016. While I do tend to give up a pleasurable activity every year, which usually revolves around food, this year I want to do something totally different. This year, I would like to give up procrastination and being lazy when it comes to sewing.
Lately, I’ve been seriously neglecting my craft. Other than a few classes which will be blogged about shortly, I haven’t really touched any sewing items. My excuse is that since my spaceisn’t where I want it to be, that I can’t sew. Plus I really love to come home and relax, so sewing is the last thing on my mind.
So far, everything I’ve stated in this blog, I’ve held myself accountable to do, so here goes nothing.
I proclaim that for this Lenten season 2016, I will make at least 6 sewing related items using the fabric and patters that arealready IN MY STASH.
Along with the above proclamation I have some projects in mind to work on in the next 40 days:
Quilt for goddaughter’s 3rd birthday
Dress to wear for Easter- M7279
Cover for my quilter’s planner
2 Outfits for work (pants and top)
3 Ironing board covers for new ironing board
WHITE SHIRTDRESS FOR CHURCH- purchase exception for white fabric
Button down shirt -exception to purchase pattern from class
BONUS: DRESS FOR Pastor’s retirement banquet
As I go along, I will post my process.
Wish me luck ya’ll.
