True confession: I've never seen Project Runway. I caught about 30 seconds once. It looked like someone was rushing in from the Dry Cleaners. I mean to watch it, but we don't have cable and I keep forgetting to put it on hold at the library. I don't what my problem is because it sounds like my kind of show.
Anyways, this is a boring introduction to my pronouncement of May as my personal Project Runway month. This month I'm going to make myself some clothes. I'm tired of looking like I threw on whatever was lying on my closet floor (which is how I actually pick my daily ensembles) and I hate shopping for clothes with the intensity of a white hot sun. Especially with 2 kids in tow - someday, if we ever meet in person, I'll tell you the story of trying on bras at Target with both kidlings in the dressing room. Hilarious and far too mortifying to discuss here. So I figure turning clothes acquisition into a craft is my best bet.
And the Interwebs have aligned to encourage me in my endeavor! A few nights ago, as I ordered this from Amazon
Sew, Mama, Sew! announced their Women's Clothing Month! They are even having a Sew-Along which I'm excited for, especially since I missed their Quilt-Along.
So it was all meant to be. I'll try and post some updates and photos (if I don't look too freakishly strange) throughout the month. Wish me luck!
No wonder you and Steph get a long so well, you are both some of the funniest woman I have ever read!
ReplyDeleteI really, really, really want to see your clothes. Please just a snippet of a photo as you get started?
I also am letting you know I am so enamored of you that I have created a blog post just for you, if you have time.
Aww, thank you missficklemedia! Steph's one of my faves, so I take the comparison as high praise!
ReplyDeleteI'll post pics as I progress...even if just snippets.
