I’m really happy to see at least one of my friends getting
their “to do” list done!
Me, well not so good on the “to do” anything lately. My craft room is a mess (to be fair, it’s ALWAYS a mess). My creative spark has gone into overdrive,
but only in my mind I have yet to start, complete, try any of the ideas I’ve
come up with lately.
That being said, I did tackle the monster job of my
closet! I lost about 35 pounds this year
(added to the 30 or so I lost last year—let’s hear a big WHOOHOO!) and my
fall/winter clothes needed to be tried on.
The resulting pile:
All the clothes in my closet which are too big. All the clothes which will leave my house or
be repurposed in some way, shape or form.
While I am thrilled to rid myself of all this clothing which
is too big and frumpy on me, I am a bit sad about a few pieces.
Like this blouse—which I love! I have it in black and brown dots on
white. I’m going to deconstruct it and
resize it down. Don’t know when, but you
can be sure you’ll see posts about it!
And this dress. It’s
one of my very, very first sewing projects for myself. I now hate how it looks on me, but I still
love the fabric so I think it’s going to be lining in my new bag (stay tuned!)
Now get ready to laugh: did we all have a dress like this in our closets in the 80s?
It was always too big and frumpy on me, but I loved the
color and the fabric, and heck if it’s survived in my closet this long it is definitely
going to be reworked! I’m thinking a
long maxi skirt for my oldest daughter and maybe a couple of fuller twirlly
skirts for my two youngest girls.
As for the rest of the pile…most will get donated, some will
be cut up and put into the fabric stash and a few pieces will just get thrown
out. Now the clothing in my closet fits, but as soon as a piece is too big it’ll go out so I never have to deal with a task like this again!
