52 Week Sewing Challenge – 3 Months In

Wow! I can’t believe we are almost half way through April already. That also means we have finished the first 13 Weeks of the 52 Week sewing challenge so I thought it was time to recap what has been sewn so far this year. When I started this challenge I was hoping it would be a way to encourage me to sew something each week, so far this has been the case. It’s really great to look at the below images together. It’s not too late to join in, you can find the challenge group on facebook here.

Week 2 – Flosstyle Sprouts Bloomies x 3 (all slightly different)

52 Week Sewing Challenge – Week 13

This weeks Challenge: Use a pattern you own but have never tried (Rejected)

 

I don’t think I could have strayed further from this weeks challenge if I had tried, I made some Sprouts Bloomies and turned them into puckers.

I am so in love with the colours and the way they turned out. I will post a tutorial on the how to next week because we are in the middle of moving this weekend and I really should be packing and cleaning.

    

 

Hope you all have an amazing Easter and enjoy the short break.

 

 

Happy Sewing xx

52 Week Sewing Challenge – Week 6

This weeks Challenge: Something Red or Pink (Accepted)

 

In case you haven’t noticed I am loving the Sprouts Bloomies at the moment and they go perfectly with the Paradise in shirt length. Again I have made a slight change to the Bloomies pattern and I am so happy with how they turned out!

To make these Bloomies I have changed which cuff I used. Normally for Bloomies you would use cuff A, for this pair I used cuff D and some elastic, which meant no gathering for those of you who don’t like it.

Cuff D is the same size as the leg opening so you need to attach as per the instructions for Sprouts Stumpies leaving a gap to thread elastic through. Your elastic should be the same length as cuff A for the size you are making.

52 Week Sewing Challenge – Week 2

This weeks challenge: Something from the last fabric you purchased. (Challenge Accepted)

More Sprouts Bloomies again this week, I haven’t sewn anything girly for awhile and when I saw these beautiful fabrics during the sales i just had to get some. Size 2 Bloomies don’t take up much fabric so I still have plenty left to play with.

I made 3 pairs this week again I have made some variations to the pattern, except for the blush pair.

The blush set are made as per the pattern

The sage pair has thicker cuffs, so instead of cutting the cuff piece from the pattern in half I have cut 2.

The lavender pair also have thicker cuffs, the belt and tabs from the MOD section of the pattern and belt loops as shown in last weeks challenge blog.

It’s not too late to join the challenge, you can find the facebook group here.

52 Week Sewing Challenge – Week 1

This weeks challenge: Something Warm -Rejected (It’s the middle of summer in Australia and while I thought about making something warm I just couldn’t bring myself to do it)

This week has been super challenging to get any sewing done for me, the holidays are always a bit chaotic to begin with but I hurt my shoulder and have had to spend most of the week with it immobilized in a sling. I’m allowed to have it off for an hour or two a day and have strict orders from the doctor not to do housework while it’s sore.

So I got a little bit of sewing done and finally finished my first item for the year, just in time too. I found this cute cat print as a remnant at my local Spotlight and just had to get it for my niece. I chose to make the Sprouts Bloomies in size 4 with a few changes.

I wanted a wider cuff at the bottom, so instead of cutting the recommended cuff piece in half as directed in the pattern I cut out 2.

I added the belt from the MODS section at the back of the pattern but created my own belt loops by making a double fold binding from a 2 1/2″ strip and sewing it shut, each belt loop is 2 1/2’long and there are 4 in total. I attached them before putting the elastic in the waistband 3 1/2″ from the center seam on both sides, front and back.

If you want to join in the fun of the 52 Week Challenge it’s not too late. Join the facebook group here.
