I have been a slacker on my SWAP.
This WIP picture shows an outift which I have since finished. I made a matching top for the skirt, too. I’ve done nothing more since then.
That means that I have completed one jacket, two of four tops, and one of four bottoms. 2/5 of the way there, with a September 1st deadline. I’d better step it up if I’m really going to do this.
I haven’t been thinking about it much, as it happens. I’m back to 12 and 14 hour workdays, and when I have free time, I’ve been knitting and being domestic.
However, I got a catalog in the mail yesterday that showed a lot of a particular color combination: orange red and aqua.It looked ugly to me, as it happens, but it could be the up and coming new color combination, so it’s causing me to re-examine the idea of bringing a nice tomato red (not orange at all) into my SWAP as an accent color. I have a length of linen in that shade, and it might jazz things up as a blouse.
When I’m going to sew a blouse I don’t know. However, this is the last week of summer school and, while I’m currently enmeshed in a whole bunch of projects, I have no new ones coming up. So I’m toying with the idea of a vacation.
With no new projects on the horizon and tuition to pay, I’m not considering travel. But I might take a week and sew. I could watch everything on Netflix Instant Watch, go out to lunch with friends every day, take long walks early in the morning, stuff like that. It could be fun.
That skirt and jacket are not only beautiful, they look SO good together!
That’s not only good work on the sewing, but on choosing the fabrics, too!
@lostarts –
Thank you! The really cool part about that is that both were hand-me-down fabrics — from different people. It was good luck that they happen to work so well together.
