In any case, I've determined to finish up what I started with my monthly roundups and yearlong tally of fabric in and out, so there will be a few posts forthcoming even though I haven't sewed much of anything lately. There was no sewing or fabric-buying activity at all in August and September, but here are the stats for July and October.
JULY PROJECTS COMPLETED:
A Blackwood cardigan using 2 yards of cotton windowpane knit I bought from Cali Fabrics in June. Due to fabric shortage the windowpanes on the neckband don't line up with the ones on the body, and the neckband pulls the body a little too tightly. I haven't worked out how to salvage it yet, but I do wear it around the house because it's cozy.
JULY FABRIC PURCHASES:
4 yards of olive green cotton/lycra bottom weight for a pair of Ginger Jeans and maybe another pinafore.
2.5 yards of the olive green bottomweight I bought in July for another pair of jeans. Blogged here.
OCTOBER FABRIC PURCHASES:
Well, I definitely made up for not buying fabric in August and September. This month I bought :
- 4 yards of cotton ikat prints from Shopolics to make pillow covers for our brown Embassy-issued couches.
- 3 yards of cotton/lycra doubleknit that I bought to make myself an unlined knit blazer.
- 2 yards of sweater knit for another Blackwood cardigan.
- 4 yards of cotton/lycra jersey in green and blue because it was on sale - this will become pjs for my boys when they outgrow their current ones.
- 2 yards of liturgical fabric to make an altar boy sticharion for my oldest son (they mistakenly sent me one yard, so are resending the full two-yard cut, which means 3 yards in total).
July and October fabric in: 20 yards.
July and October fabric out: 4.5 yards.
YTD in: 104.23 yards.
YTD out: 82.89 yards.
