monthly round up

April Round Up….

05/02/13

I’ve been focussing alot recently on organising myself a bit better so I can make more time for making. Yay! So I thought each month, it would be interesting (for me at least, and hopefully for you too!) to take a look back at the previous month and see my output. Half of these I’d forgotten about already! How bad is that?!

Top Row: Blue Kimono Tee, Applique Cushions, Crochet & Chain Necklace, Sweatshirt Refashion.
Bottom Row: Nautical Outfit Refashion, Leather Planner, Bleach Polka Dot Jeans, Fishook Earrings

So I’m averaging about 2 handmade items a week. Not bad. I’m anticipating May’s tally will be higher though. MMM’13 always motivates me to make more so I don’t run out of outfit options mid month. Especially as this year I have given myself the added challenge of not wearing the same outfit twice! Aaargh!
In addition to that, May will be the first full month of using my new planner, and in theory, being sooooo organised that I have more time to sew. We shall see!

Do you keep tally of how much you’re getting done? What’s your sewing/making output per month/week?
