No stitching completed this month as I’ve been doing a daily ‘Christmas in July’ cardmaking challenge as well as completing a few beginners watercolour challenges. I did have a VERY big sewing finish, though, this month that I’m super proud of, and that’s the Catch All Caddy by ByAnnie. It was my goal this year to build up my confidence enough to attempt one of the bigger ByAnnie patterns, and I’m so happy I met that goal thanks to a sew-along on Facebook. I do have to admit to giving in on the final piece of binding and ended up unpicking it and stitching it on by hand, but hopefully if I do more of these types of projects I’ll get better at sewing them on by machine.
Stitching question
What is your comfort zone regarding the number of projects to have kitted and in progress at any one time?
Honestly I don’t think I have a limit – I regularly kit and unkit projects on a whim, and just have tubs in my Kallax unit dedicated to kitted up projects sorted into sizes. I find if I have a project kitted up ready to go (or at least have the fabric selected/cut out) then I can start something whenever I get the urge. Kitting up, for me, takes all the fun out of new starts, and it often has me spinning my wheels and not stitching for a few days/weeks because I can’t get past the kitting up part of the process. If I get the urge to organise or kit things up I make the most of it, and don’t worry about the number of projects that entails.
