Between working long hours, and attending an evening meeting, I made virtually no progress on any of my projects yesterday. I did remember to bring my do sew tracing materials and traced out the McCall's shrug on my lunch break today.
Tracing patterns and cutting out fabric always seems to be the most tedious parts of garment sewing. I find that if I can do them ahead - making use of small bits of time like lunch hours - then when I sit down to sew, things go much faster and smoother. I also use lots of zip loc baggies in all sizes to store patterns, outfits I've cut out, interfacing materials and keep things organized as I move from spot to spot to work.
Why, oh why if I know what works well, don't I actually do more of it?
