A Day Late....

Well the saga continues as I continue the 52 week sewing challenge.  I now have completed 2 items in 2 weeks and only 50 more to go.  I don't feel quite as accomplished as I did last week, perhaps because I missed yesterday's deadline but unlike in the past I did not let that deter me.  The old Lisa would have said, "Well since you missed the deadline don't worry about it."  But I plugged on.  I used a pattern that I have used before, which is why I feel that I should have finished in time and I even had a Snow Day.  However, in my defense my downstairs was too cold to stay down there, which was the reason for the Snow Day (-25 Windchill, not snow).  I used Simplicity 2054 Cynthia Rowley and shortened it so that I could wear it with my leggings and boots.  It has been quite popular in the past on PatternReview with 26 reviews so there probably is not much more I need to say.  It's easy, fast and cute.  Perfect to wear shorter with leggings but it is also cute as a dress.  I have used this pattern before as a regular length dress and love it!  Hopefully, I will plan a little better for next week and will meet my deadline.  I also hope I will become fast enough that I will not be limited to knit tops/dresses for the next 50 weeks!!!

  2. Thank you! As I mentioned I just hope I don't end up with nothing but knits. My goal is to start sewing wovens and have them done in a week, at least that is my goal. Thanks again for the comment I truly appreciate it.
