#The100DayProject
I don't see myself doing any one creative thing for 100 days, as many do. However, I believe I can coax myself to do some small creative thing for 100 days. On Days 1 and 2, I worked on my #sewing.
Both of these shirts are the #DawsonTop by Helen's Closet, and I recently completed a third, also in a shade of green (olive, in that case). All of these have been in my queue for over 2 years. I bought fabrics that I loved, but was too afraid to cut into and construct at the time.
Now that I've had more experience with sewing knits, it's less terrifying. This light green shirt was only missing one side/sleeve seam, and the hemming for the sleeves and the shirt.
Both shirts were completed today after coworking sessions yesterday and today.
I'm happy to have these off of my project shelves and into my closet!
@sewing MeMadeMay2023 #Sewing day at the library #makerspace and I was reunited with my selfie stick. #MossJacket and #GypsumSkirt made with thrifted sheets and pockets from cotton purchased in Asia. The #DawsonTop was made with thrifted cotton jersey. Nothing is an exact match but it works for me. #ItHasPockets #pockets #sewing
#MeMadeMay2023 #DawsonTop with #GypsumSkirt Top was just finished yesterday with thrifted cotton jersey. Collar was put in backwards so it had to be turned and sewed. Great pattern! Skirt was made from a sheet and pockets were from Japanese cotton. #sewing #ItHasPockets

As a relatively new garment sewist, I'm really trying to become proficient at a pretty small number of patterns. I prefer wearing garments that are relatively simple, and made of interesting fabrics/colours.
Getting better with #AshtonTop, #HinterlandDress, and I nailed #MossJacket first time around. I had an easy time making the #LimestoneLeggings top and now, I want to draft and make my own sports bras. Next up is #DawsonTop with knits.

Yay!! I'm trying to clear off extra table space for #Sewing over the holidays and I'm a HUGE fan of the #HelensCloset patterns! Recently completed #AshtonTop and #MossJacket. The jacket is a perfect fit and style for me and I have linen for #2. I'm working on #2 of the top but it needs modification, especially the armscye. Figuring out the facing. Seems much easier doing it with the side seams open. I also have #DawsonTop and fabric for 2 of those. I'm mildly obsessed.
