That was pretty fun.<br /><br />I feel a loss of mojo after a few meh projects, too. Sometimes it helps to clean the sewing area, or to choose something REALLY fun to sew. After all, your skills are still there. Your next project doesn't have to be doomed.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17756048999067152284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210185970059939959.post-9215656477110623852011-03-15T19:55:09.780-07:002011-03-15T19:55:09.780-07:00I love the wonky skirt and day 11 and 13! I agree ...I love the wonky skirt and day 11 and 13! I agree with lizajane, make something knit. If you have an old t-shirt that fits well but you don't really wear you could just cut the seams and use it as a pattern. You know exactly how it will fit and you can do some cool design things like ruffles or pleats. <br /><br />Good luck. I hope your sew-jo comes back!acandiedapplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00764905744942176491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210185970059939959.post-88745247861777604732011-03-15T19:16:30.520-07:002011-03-15T19:16:30.520-07:00Day 13 rocks!!!Day 13 rocks!!!Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09252888277900165568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210185970059939959.post-23749717959735149932011-03-15T17:57:45.870-07:002011-03-15T17:57:45.870-07:00Your outfits are awesome.

Not as many issue with fit when you work with something stretchy.liza janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16916364137307894200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210185970059939959.post-59947660694693530782011-03-15T10:22:21.855-07:002011-03-15T10:22:21.855-07:00Ugh, that sucks!

Do something different and don't think about sewing at all, then you'll suddenly get inspired and feel like you can't get back to the machine quick enough! Always works for me.<br /><br />P.S. I LOVE the boots you paired with Giraffe in Vogue.Lorena Guerrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01226199589581272431noreply@blogger.com
