June 2021 Sewing Makes

 

June was a good month.

1. Simplicity

For some odd reason but my sewing machine and my serger started to act up.  So I had to put this project to the side and work on the next project

2. Butterick 6822

My beautiful mother

3. Pattern Emporium Honeybuns Shorts

June 2021 Sewing Plans

 


We're entering month 6 out of 12.  Halfway through the year and I'm reflecting on my goals for 2021.

Make Nine update. I've completed 4 out of 9 items.

For the remainder of the year I would like to complete the following goals:

Attend a sewalong every month

May's sewalong- Toronto Tee

May's Sewalong Hallon Dress

Participate in at least one challenge a month.  This will keep me focused

Sew Together May -Love Notion's Sunday Romper

Make a Cosplay outfit and wear it for my birthday

Make jeans by December 31st, 2021

Make a swimsuit

Make a jacket by November 30, 2021


I would like to be a little more intentional when selecting my monthly project.  While listening to the Seamwork Radio podcast they discussed a fantastic way to narrow down sewing projects.

There's five questions to ask when selecting projects

1. What am I excited to make?

2. What do I have all the supplies for?

3. What do I actually need in my closet? 

4. What color thread is in my serger?

5.  Project that I have 3 outfits for it?


I did not complete my plans in May.  I am going to move those two items to June.
