You may be thinking "I don't remember what Christine did for June's Sewing Challenge?" Don't worry, I missed June. I was so sad... But when you are out of town for two weeks, and then have a toddler with hand, foot and mouth disease, you decide that sewing isn't a priority. In fact, I almost passed on this month too. We had a family reunion last week, at our house. B and I thought we could install a paver patio while trying to clean, organize, do all those last minute projects before the family showed up at our house. Yeah, right.
However, in cleaning and organizing my sewing area for the visitors, I discovered a HUGE mending/to be completed pile of stuff.
This isn't the full pile, but a nice sampling of what is in the pile. What better way to make this pile smaller than to sew up one the projects I cut out months (years?) ago! And this month's challenge is
Put It On - something someone can wear.
I present: Toddler Tie for P.
I think this is actually for a baby. I don't remember when I cut it out - possible for P's first Christmas. (oops) I was making so many baby ties around the time P was born. Then, P ended up with church clothes that were hard to match to tie fabric. Here's a shocker: I messed up.....on the neckband. I realized too late that I normally use just one piece of fabric for the neckband - not two. It is way too wide for P's little neck. Sometimes you just let things go so you can finish and enter your sewing challenge on the very last day of the month.
