This is wayyy overdue.
So, I participated in Self-Stitched September after reading about it in a DIY blog. Even though most of the things I wear on a daily basis are handmade by myself or someone else or second hand..i thought it would be fun to do & see how much i actually do wear handmade things. Also, I wanted to give myself a huge push to make more clothes for myself.
In September I also started a new job. I realized that I didn’t have a lot of business casual/dressy/work clothes AT ALL. Also at this time I was low on funds so instead of buying myself a whole new wardrobe I refashioned old clothes I already had, sewed some things from scratch, dug into my piles of old clothes I plan on selling/donating, and bought clothes from thrift stores.
I didn’t make as many clothes as i wanted to (due to said new job) but here’s what i did make:
pink shrug with hoodstooth trim
this was a bit difficult, the fabric has no stretch whatsoever!
