This blog hosts a challenge for home sewers who want to commit to sewing their own wardrobe (or certain parts of your wardrobe :-). Our goal is to not purchase RTW clothing from January 1, 2015 thru December 31, 2015. Follow our journey as we share and encourage each other through tips, tutorials, and various challenges. Thanks for dropping by!
It's a pleasure to welcome Elle to the challenge! She blogs at Elle C Sews. It's great to have you Elle--we're cheering you on! I think all of us can find some encouragement from her "Sign Me Up Ladies, 4/4/13" post.... Happy sewing!
welcome Elle!love your blog, I think all challenges automaticly cause our brain to go into the can't mode. "try" not to shop & "can't" shop makes it do totally different things lol!I know what you mean about buying new cloths while trying to lose weight, I do't either , I could stand to lose some lol! so I' think I'll take this year to focus on that with you then we can learn to alter lol!

Welcome Elle. I'm on a force weight loss regime too (due to health issues), so I understand perfectly your sewing dilemma. I figure I have so much stash fabric, anyway, that this is a good way to sew it down, meet the needs of the (hopefully??!!)reducing body, and say goodbye to overpriced/poorly constructed RTW.

ReplyDeleteHi everyone, what we need to say to ourselves is we can, not we can't! AND, welcome Ellem
ReplyDeleteWhoops, Elle not Ellem. First time I have used my phone for comments - not used to the tiny keyboard.
DeleteThank you everyone for the warm welcome! Now I just have to decide what to sew first.
