Hi Angela, I think your hair color looks good. I haven’t been sewing at all yet in 2023. I have been relearning crochet. I crocheted a little bit when I was a teenager (a long time ago!) and want to make some things now. My first project is a baby quilt for my grandson that is due in May. Of course we are so excited and I want to make him a blanket. That’s what I have been doing. I applaud you for using your stash fabric!!!! I hope you’re having a great week 😊
Hi Cynthia, good to hear from you. So cool that you're crocheting again and congrats!!! on your grandson, how sweet! I'm feeling so much better this week and hope you're having a great week too!
The color of your skirt is beautiful and I agree, it works great with the other colors in your capsule. Love the cut and color - a change is always fun 😊
Great to catch up with you, Angela! Can’t wait to see your capsule skirt, it’s a beautiful design! Oh my goodness, I’m in love with the Vogue dress, wow, I’m going to have to add that one to my list for when I can buy patterns again, haha! Thanks so much for sharing! Happy Sewing ❤~Tiffany
Vogue dress pattern is amazing 👏. That skirt pattern that you are playing is going to be so awesome, and i love the fabric choice. I have a new look pattern with a similar skirt and have made it so many times. Love the new hair 😍
Thanks so much, Katinka! I'm excited to get going on the skirt. Had to put it aside for so long while I was sick. Today (Saturday) is the first day I've been up and about really, so getting caught up on house things. I can feel my energy wiping out already. Tomorrow I am going to sew!
That Badgely Mischka dress (or however you spell it!) Is just lovely. Lovely fabric for your skirt. I didn't realise you were on a total fabric buy ban until you make up half your stash over the year!! My goodness, that will be hard! I could probably sew for a whole year without buying any new fabric too.... I did do a no buy for about 3-4 months. I felt so darn good about it and pleased with myself that after that I bought some fabric to reward myself 😁🤣😂😇
So far it hasn't been too hard. I can't really get tempted to visit the fabric websites bc I had hubby block them on our home network 😂 it was the only way to save me from myself. And now that garden season is upon us, I tell myself that since I'm not buying fabric, i have more to spend on the garden 😂😂
Love the fabric you chose for your skirt! I have the same from Stylemaker. As you were reading off the fabric suggestions for your skirt I don’t recall it mentioned any with stretch. Might have to adjust sizing. Regardless that gored skirt will be lovely in your capsule wardrobe!
Hi Donna! I double checked and it does include matte jersey. I've not worked with matte jersey, but i think it has stretch?? Either way though, will definitely keep sizing in mind. 👍🏻
Hi Angela! I LOVE the fabric for your upcoming skirt! The color is gorgeous! I also have several “Amazing Fit” patterns and have not made one yet. I’m interested to see what you think of that type of pattern after you’ve made the skirt. I also just realized that I have never made a skirt either! I think maybe I will make one for this summer sometime 🤔 Your hair looks great! I don’t color my hair but I do get it cut shorter from time to time and a new hairstyle definitely takes some getting used to!
Hi Michelle! I'm eager to get started on my skirt. Being sick for a week meant no sewing. I am up and moving around today, 6 days later! and in small spurts. Hope to be sewing tomorrow. I'll let you know how the pattern is to work with 😊
Hi Angela, Love the fabric, couldn't tell but it looked like it might have a nap. Do you have enough fabric to run your pattern pieces in one direction? Should be a lovely skirt!☺️
Hi Ely! Thanks so much. Yes, I am treating the fabric as if it has a nap and running all pieces in the same direction. I hope to actually get them cut out tomorrow. Being bedridden for the past 6 days has been no fun and I feel so behind!!

Congratulations on the 4 fabrics. I think I have used 8 but I cheated by using 1 m fabrics and color blocking!!!
Every bit counts!! 😀

Love your hair!! And I adore your shirt too, did you make it? It really suits you!
Thank you so much!! No, didn't make the shirt. It's one i found on amazon. I love the fit of it and bought another in a blue color.
👍😍🥰👗🧵🪡
