I almost made it. This was a challenge, because usually I procrastinate until the last minute, then I rush through things. Since none of the projects that I made were for others, I'm ok. I'm actually pretty proud of myself with what I did accomplish. Five out of six ain't too shabby.
During the 40 days of Lent, I completed:
Pair of knit wide legged pants (M6571)
2 Crocheted Roses
Nita Wrap Skirt as a pattern tester
In the Hoop Cosmetic Bag
Ironing Board Cover
Of the items that I previously listed, only one item was completed. The ironing board cover for one of my new ironing boards. The cover that I replaced was the only one damaged. It was a $5 craigslist find that had a sticky stain on one of the 3 surfaces. Since I plan to use this as a pressing surface for the many projects that don't need a full sized board for. The fabric was given to my by Kenneth King when I took one of his classes at Sew Right. The fabric was a floral home dec weight cotton. It was perfect for the ironing board. I still have a bit of the fabric left for when I need to cover the other 2 boards.
During this time I also got to use my embroidery machine (I know, I have not introduced y'all to my arsenal, that will come soon, I promise) to make a cosmetic bag. Embroidery is actually a lot of fun when you know what you are doing. I now have Christmas gift ideas for almost everyone (SHHH... don't tell my family).
I dabble in crocheting off and on. It was something, along with sewing that my Grandma taught me when I was younger. Back then I didn't really want to learn how to do them, but I learned because she wanted me to learn. Miraculously, I was able to retain the basics of crochet.
Stay tuned for the next adventure.
