Self-Stitched September: Labor Day Weekend Edition

Since I'm getting a little late start, I'm going to cover the entire first week of September with one outfit. Because I'm being nice to myself, and am not going to let this challenge be stressful. Just fun :) Just moving last weekend gave me a late start, but also gave me a fresh look at my wardrobe as I was packing and unpacking it, so hopefully I can get creative here. I'm also hoping I have some time to squeeze in a little sewing time to make some new additions to my wearable handmade collection. Here's the weekend barbecue outfit!


What I'm wearing:
Dress: Made by me, details here
Belt: Wal-Mart maybe?
Shoes: Fit-Flops

Self-Stitched September....A little late!

Okay, so I've been absent for awhile! The last couple of weeks have been crazy. My sewing machine had to go in to get serviced, I started teaching and taking classes for the fall, and we moved. And the computer was in a box.....so that meant no blogging. Also, it means that I totally missed the beginning of Self-Stitched September because most of my clothes are still in boxes as well! But, I think I'm going to catch back up on Monday or Tuesday, to get started after the labor day weekend. Here's my pledge:

'I, Sasha of sashamakes.blogspot.com, sign up as a participant of Self-Stitched-September. I endeavour to wear at least 1 handmade or refashioned item of clothing or accessories every day for the duration (or rest!) of September 2010'

So that's what's getting ready to happen. AND....I finally have my own space to sew/craft! I'll share pics when I get it in working order. Yay! Check back next week for wardrobe pics and some sharing of works in progress!
