52 Week Sewing Challenge – Week 1

Challenge: Organise your Sewing Space (Accepted)

Wow! I can’t believe the first week of 2019 is already over. It’s been a crazy busy week at our place with lots of cleaning and organising.

We decided to move my fabric table out to the carport to give the inside sewing/computer area more space, now that it’s finished it’s amazing, I even managed to fit two extra cupboards in for some more storage.

I also managed to sew a cover for my sewing machine to stop little monsters trying to play with it while I’m not sewing. Now to make one for the other machines too.

Are you joining the 52 Week Sewing Challenge this year? It’s not too late for more info about how you can join in read my post here. I hope you have all enjoyed some sewing time over Christmas and would love to see your creations in the Flosstyle Fair Group.

Happy Sewing

52 Week Sewing Challenge Wrap Up

So I promised myself I’d do a wrap up post at the end of the year so I could track my progress and give me a clear line for improvement for 2019 so here it is. It definitely could have been better but there’s always next year.

I have photos and blogs for 29 of my weekly creations from 2018, links to each blog are in the photo captions.

Week 1 , Week 2, Week 3, Week 4, Week 5 and Week 6
Week 7, Week 8, Week 9, Week 10, Week 11 and Week 12.
Week 13, Week 14, Week 15, Week 16, Week 17 and Week 18.
Week 19, Week 20, Week 26, Week 29, Week 30 and Week 37
Week 38, Week 39, Week 40, Week 41 and Week 42.

I think there may be a few that I forgot to photograph or didn’t have time to blog so thats something else to work on for next year as well. Overall though it was great motivation to sew something each week and I loved seeing everyone’s makes as well. Will you be joining the Challenge for 2019?

Top Nine for 2018

Wow I can’t believe how quickly this year has gone! I thought I would jump on the instagram bandwagon and create a top nine collage of my makes for 2018.

From Top, Left to Right: Sprouts Blossoms, Bunny Buckets, Super Suit Singlet and Tooshies, Ultimate Bucket Hat, One Yard Tote, Tidy Travel Tote, Jukebox Dress, Whirl Skirt and Jukebox Dress.

Before I sat down to look through my pictures and pick my top nine I was feeling like I hadn’t sewn enough this year after struggling to keep up with the 52 Week Challenge. But looking through all the things I did manage to make I’m pretty happy with the outcome.

I will be joining in the 52 Week Challenge again in 2019 and look forward to hopefully getting further along than I did this year. You can find my wrap up of the 2018 52 Week Sewing Challenge here.

Happy Sewing
