...Diana Ross and the Supremes knew exactly what they were talking about when they sang "You Can't hurry love". If you'll remember, the last episode of Faye's Sewing Adventure found me working hard to complete the 4th and final week of Sew Much Talent's Kicking Stash sew-a-long - outer wear and/or accessories. Even though I chose a simple pattern (only 5 pattern pieces), I couldn't resist incorporating at least a few tailoring techniques that I thought would make the coat not only look better, but also last longer. So, needless to say, I did not finish my coat in time to count for the challenge. Not to dismay though - turns out I did come in in
THE TOP 5 of the sew-a-long!
With the deadline for submission being 11:59 p.m. Sunday Night, I threw in the towel at 11:29 after finally coming to grips with the fact that YOU JUST CAN'T HURRY LOVE! This is what the project looked like Sunday night when I decided it was time to go to bed.
The clocked ticked on, and January turned into February, and my project magically evolved from Kicking Stash into a WIP (work in progress). I CAN'T HURRY LOVE, but I can just let it WIP!!!
So many coats.... You something we don't?

ReplyDeleteThank you Kelly!
DeleteYou will find time to finish it soon enough...even if its for next winter. I think the love of it is better than the rush. Slow sewing is relaxing, get it done when you feel like regardless of the schedule.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right Andrea and I do so love coat making.
DeleteAloha from Josie
