Happy first day of June! Post Me Made May and I am sporting one of my latest creations. This is from the same April Johnston knit that I used for the skirt I wore last week. I really like the print and am glad that I was able to squeeze two garments out of the 2 1/2 yards I had.
These last few months have been very productive for me sewing wise. Here is my breakdown of May.
Total fabric in: 28 1/2 yards
- Total fabric out: 26 yards
+2 1/2 yards
Of the 26 yards used:
14 1/2 yards were from the stash for myself
6 yards were from the stash for Eric
4 1/2 yards were new this year for myself
Not too bad. I am going to try for negative yardage this month. I think that should be doable as I don’t foresee any major fabric buying sprees.
Total number of garments made: 12
2 for Eric and 10 for myself
Since I only made 23 total garments last year I would say 12 in one month is pretty awesome!
For June, I have several projects lined up already. Here’s what I’ve got in mind already.
1.) Swimsuit
2.) Dress for my brother’s graduation next weekend. I am planning on M6559.
3.) M6700, which I just picked up today, on sale at Jo-Ann’s
4.) My first Tiramisu once the pattern arrives
5.) A tank top or two from S2603, because I really need some basic tops to go under my dress.
6.) A dress shirt or two for Eric from the new fabrics I got from Fabric Mart.
7.) My nerd girl dress that I haven’t shared yet! It is awesome!
That’s my plan so far, what about you?
