We’re just over halfway through March so I thought I should probably report back on how my Me Making March is going. I had planned to post more frequently but I haven’t really had enough to say so just the two round-ups should be plenty.
Day 1
I hadn’t seen Meris’ post yet so I hadn’t started Me Making March and didn’t do anything.
Day 2
I didn’t do much but I did manage to hem the sleeves of my in progress ballet dress.
Day 3
I was tired and lazy.
Day 4
And again, oops.
Day 5
I didn’t do any sewing but I finally picked up the Andi Satterlund Miette cardigan that I’ve been knitting since March last year instead and knitted some of the first sleeve.
Day 6
No sewing today either but I did some more knitting and nearly finished the first sleeve.
Day 7
A more productive day today. I cut out the fabric for the toile of my Mesa dress hack, got the manfriend to measure my inside leg for me so I could shorten the leg pattern pieces for my Closet Case Files Gingers and cut out the traced pattern pieces. I also took in the waist of the ballet dress I’d sewn most of and straightened the skirt side seams because I’d been a bit of a dunderhead and used a sort of trapezoid shade for the skirt but with no curve to the waist or hem because my fabric had stripes but of course that meant the sides dipped down and looked silly.
Day 8
I only got round to shortening the back leg piece yesterday so I altered the other one tonight. Then cut out my pocket lining pieces and one leg bit. Then I went to bed and cast off the first sleeve of my Miette cardi, once I figured out what stretchy bind off I should use.
Day 9
I cut out the rest of the leg pieces, the yoke, one pocket facing and one back pocket.
Day 10
More cutting out today but not as much. I cut out the other pocket facing, the other back pocket and a waistband.
Day 11
Nothing today.
Day 12
I hemmed my ballet dress so I could wear it for a day trip to Cardiff with the Manfriend to bimble about and then go watch Mark Watson do stand up in the evening, which was very nice apart from the train home being full of awful drunk people and stopping in every tiny station on the way. I had an awful woman fall into my lap and have a mega domestic with her partner right next to me.
Day 13
I wasn’t feeling well all of Sunday and ended up sleeping for a lot of the day so no sewing was done.
Day 14
Nothing again.
Day 15
I wasn’t feeling well again and had to come home from work ill so there was no crafting done.
Day 16
Still not feeling right so nothing again.
So I’ve done something on about half of the days so far, which isn’t great but isn’t too bad either. I seem to have been full of bugs of late, since coming back from holiday really, which has let the Manfriend to blame the chipmunks we met on holiday. Their cute faces, hiding a fluffy menace.
