  • NL6150 top: 1 yard 
  • Kimono tee: 1 yard
  • Burda 06-2014 top: 1 yard (didn't finish the black one)
  • Burda 06-2014 kids top: 1/2 yard
  • Burda 06-2014 kids shorts: 1/3 yard
  • S2153 jacket for DD: 2 yards
  • S2594 top: 1.5 yards
  • M6654 skirt: 2/3 yard
  • S2243 jacket: 1 3/4 yard
  • S2255 top: 1.5 yard
  • S1373 shorts: 1 yard
 Total of 13 3/4 yards sewn with lots of unselfish sewing!

Favorite make of the month: Yep. The nautical print top! :-D

This month I bought oogads of fabric.
  • FabricMart: 26 yards (mmmm. striped ponte!)
  • destash: 8 yards (think 4 yards might be unusable. REALLY bad crease lines in this coated cotton)
  • Hancock: 3.5 yards
Total of 37.5 yards added to stash

Of newer me-mades; a little "where are they now"

Things I wear all.the.time
  • Denim S1430 shorts
  • Both S2061 pants. ALL THE TIME!!! in fact I contemplated cutting another pair out on Sunday!!
Things I don't wear as much as I thought I would
  • Denim Burda skirt. :(
  • Black S1430 shorts (I have NO clue why!)
  • B5678 shirt. Yep. The contest winning shirt. :-O It fits very well...but very well fitted doesn't suit the work life. I think the day I wore it to work I had to do so much bending and lifting that I actually ended up taking it off and putting on a tshirt I had in my gym bag...and wearing my labcoat.

July sewing plans:
  • 5 piece mini-wardrobe (knit blazer, 2 tops, 1 shorts, 1 cropped pant)
  • My first swimsuit
  • collared vest
  • a couple of knit dresses (so committal...I know! LOL!)

Most awesomest shirt ever.
