In #sewing news, I altered a pattern today and ordered fabric for some projects. The pattern alteration was nontrivial because Selena the cat wanted to … erm, assist. (A roll of brown paper can be so exciting! So biteable! So fun to scratch or rummage under the paper!)
I also took my measurements and printed out yet another underthing pattern. Let's see how Sophie Hines's #AxisTank works out for me.

Dear #sewingdiary ,

I didn't set up a timer but am positive I've spent plenty of 5-10min bits, splattered over the course of the day, on #sewing , almost exclusively on prep work:

- Made a pattern for a fabric box prototype.
- Went through remnants and "to-be-refashioned" items for fabric.
- Threaded the sewing machine.
- Cleaned my cutting table.

Then I ran out of steam and pin-basted sleeves in an UFO tee.

Not bad for a Monday. πŸ˜„

Dear #sewingdiary ,

I'm doing a happy πŸ’ƒ πŸ•Ί πŸ’ƒ:
30 mins of Sunday #sewing and #sewingprojectplanning and I haven't just two new camis in my drawers but also ideas how to incorporate a divider into washable fabric boxes. Yahoo!

Two finished UFOs don't make a big difference to my UFO pile, but it's a start.

Next, I'll make two different prototypes of storage boxes. Hopefully they'll work in practice, not just in my imagination. πŸ˜€

Dear #sewingdiary ,

Got a total 30 mins of #sewing stuff done:

Re-cut and machine-basted the second UFO cami but it was too hot for fitting.

Next, I started planning a new #sewingproject : Storage boxes similar to IKEA's DrΓΆna but different dimensions, with a divider and, unlike DrΓΆna, _washable_.

Haven't found a tutorial for boxes with both fearures yet, and it was too hot to put my thinking cap on so I called it a day. 🌞

Dear #sewingdiary ,

Happy to report that I managed to squeeze in a total of 40 mins of #sewing , yay!

My goals were too ambitious though. When will I ever learn that fitting garments, even simple ones like camis, takes time? πŸ™„ 😁

- Unstitched both UFO camis.
- Re-cut, machine-basted and fitted one of them so it's ready to be serged.
- Threaded serger.

New goals are more modest: Finish both camis by tomorrow night.

We'll see how I fare.
