March Stashbusting Theme and Curating Challenge

It’s March!!! The temperature is above zero and the sun is shining for the first time in days! It’s time for a celebration and beginning to plan for the warm summer days that are sure to come. At least for those of us in the northern hemisphere. :) I’ve already seen a shift in blogging for those in the warmer part of the world preparing for your fall and winter. Hurrah for seasonal change. Are you ready? 

Jake and Cat are ready for the season to change as well.

March’s Curating Challenge is a big one this month. Wardrobe Evaluation! Time to go through your closet and pull out all your favorite clothes whether they are handmade or RTW. Why are these things your favorites? Find the similarities. Is it style, comfort, colors, certain details? Once we find the common denominators we can approach our fabrics and patterns with a more educated eye and sew up more garments that will get worn.
A big revelation and shift in my sewing happened when I realized some of my favorite pieces accentuated my natural waistline. I started making more things that defined it and ended up with several new favorite pieces! 

There seems to be a lot of talk going around the blogs about all this and I’m compiling a list of interesting articles for later this week! I’ve also got some fun interviews planned for later this month as well. So stay tuned for more good stuff!

Someday winter will be over and my waistline will return!

Right now I want to hear from you! Is there a big shift in your sewing depending on the season? Do you have super defined seasons that require separate wardrobes? I know I have to living in South Dakota! It’s wool, layers and long johns in the winter and t-shirts and shorts in the summer. I also do more knitting in the winter time… that may be partially because I’m indoors and watching more movies too…

So let me know! What are you planning to sew?
