Take a look at what the club did during January over at our flickr group, I'm very proud to say that there was a bigger turnout than I had expected... to be honest I thought only me and one other person would pull through, but five of us managed a January project, so I'm happy!
Our projects:Lauren - I had a really ambitious project in mind, but that got shelved for February and so I made a little vintage fabric skirt instead.Amanda - Tried her hand at shirring using a different method to usual, and her daughter loved it!Lara - Made a bag for her mother using a very cool pattern, but stopped short of chopping up her mum's old leather jacket for material.Jen - Made her top in two hours! Amasing, especially as she had to struggle with slinky fabric. I hate sewing wth slinky fabric. She's going to make another one with different fabric later on.The fifth person is Thea, my mother, but she's been wearing her top so much I havnt had a chance to take a photo of it yet. :)Feel free to join us if you need a kick up the butt to get into sewing regularily.The flickr link is here if you'd like to look at our projects in more detail and join up, and the original introductory post is here.
This is for all those who have said they would or might like to join...The Once-A-Month-Sew-And-Tell Club!As a New Years Resolution, those of the Club will try to Sew at least one item of clothing/an accessory a month, and Tell their progress somehow on the internet through a photo.This is not nessessary to join, but I thought a flickr group could be a cool idea. If you still want to be a part of it, but dont want to post to flickr, thats cool, you can just send me your image or post a link in my monthly blog post to a picture on the internets somewhere (facebook, picasa, flickr, blog, website, etc) If you want to blog about it too thats awesome! The more the merrier I say!And if you want to post the badge on your blog too, thats awesome, just use the one I did in my right menu bar/list thing, and perhaps link to the flickr group page; http://www.flickr.com/groups/oamsat/
Can you guys think of anything else that the club needs?

I really enjoy sewing, and unfortunately dont get to do as much of it as I'd like, so I tend to live vicariously (or, at least sew vicariously) through the projects of members of sites like craftster and BurdaStyle. They've released their "best of 2009" since I was there last, and I loved this so much had to share... she did it with no pattern! Amasing!EDIT:Just thought of something. New Year's Resolution.I resolve in 2010 to sew at least 1 accessory or item of clothing per month, and to post my progress here on my blog. Anyone want to join me in the "once-a-month-sew-and-tell"?xoxo enjoy your New Year's celebrations tonight, and dont forget to stay safe!See you next year! (I swear, that never gets old!)
