Untitled Thoughts

What are you working on in this second week of the new year?

Currently, I am trying to find the motivation to finish these tartan wool shorts before the end of the weekend. I started these last year and have since abandoned them in my “to be finished” pile. Is it just me or are there other chronic multiple-unfinished-project sewists out there with a pile of half completed work? I can’t be the only one, right?

What’s one item in your current wardrobe you didn’t realize you were missing until you got it?

For me, that item was the humble blazer. Sure, I have had blazers in the past, I’ve even sewn a few of them for myself. But it wasn’t until gifted me this stunning red number that I realized just how much I had been missing out on having a perfectly fitting blazer in my wardrobe. Seriously. Anytime I am feeling a bit “meh” and am needing a lift, I reach for this blazer. In an instant, I feel as if I can tackle anything the day might throw at me!

To me, this blazer feels powerful and sexy and chic and intelligent, all while being super comfortable.
