Sewing Challenge 2020 – Week 4

This weeks challenge: Swim
Accepted/Rejected: Accepted

This weeks challenge is Swim, we usually end up swimming outdoors which means the kids need extra hats for swimming, because once they get out of the water they want a dry hat to wear.

I saw this amazing fabric at Spotlight a little while back and knew it would make amazing hats, they are part of the Jijaka range. The colours are so vibrant and the patterns are so detailed.

How are you going so far with the challenge? I would love for you to pop over to Flosstyle Fair and let me know.

Happy Sewing

Sewing Challenge 2020 – Week 3

This weeks challenge: Headwear
Accepted/Rejected: Accepted

I have had these two bucket hats sitting here for a little while now and the kids have been super patient waiting for them to be done, so I thought this week would be the perfect time to get them finished.

The kids were super excited that their hats were finally finished and couldn’t wait to wear them.

Now if only I could get around to finishing all the other half finished projects sitting on my sewing desk. How many unfinished projects do you have?

Sewing Challenge 2020 – Week 2

This weeks challenge: Back to school/ library charity
Accepted/Rejected: Accepted (kind of)

So this week isn’t a new sew. I made this Bazinga Backpack quite awhile ago now and it has been used almost daily since then so is starting to show some signs of wear and tear. My kid isn’t the most gentle with his things, so I am surprised at how well it has held up.

The issue with it was the webbing from one of the straps had all but come out and was only just holding on.

It was a pretty quick fix and I made sure to seal the webbing really well before sewing it back in to hopefully stop the same thing from happening again.

Repairs are my least favourite part of sewing, do you like repairs or do you leave them far longer than you should like I do?

Sewing Challenge 2020 – Week 1

Oh my gosh I can’t believe it’s 2020 already! This year I thought I’d have another go at the 52 Week Sewing Challenge, its a great motivator to try and sew something each week.

If you want to join ion too you can find the Facebook Groups for the Aussie Group here, and the US Group here. Both follow the same concept but the tasks for each week are slightly different, I will be following the Australian group since I’m in Australia, because the tasks align better with the seasons here.

This weeks challenge: Clean your sewing space
Accepted/Rejected: Accepted

I decided to do something a little different this week and make a video you can find it on the Flosstyle Patterns Facebook page here. Want to see what I made and how far I got last year? You can find all the my past 52 Week Challenge Post here.

Will you be joining in the challenge this year? I’d love to see what you make over in the Flosstyle Fair.

Happy Sewing
