Selfish Sewing Wee…Oops

In a strange twist, for Selfish Sewing Week (hosted by Rachael of Imagine Gnats) I did the only unselfish sewing I’ve done since the wedding dress! I’ve been in a bit of a sewing funk lately. I think it’s a combination of the start of the school year and the absolute disaster zone that is my sewing room currently. I haven’t sewn anything for myself since the Floral Flora I just posted (which I truthfully finished back in the first week of September.) But today I made good progress on the sewing room craziness and, well, it’s still the start of the school year, but at least I’m getting in my groove.

Anyway, for (un)Selfish Sewing Week, I altered a tank for a co-worker (not pictured) and made two quick T-shirts for my adorable nephew whose fourth birthday party was yesterday. Naturally, I decided to make the shirts Friday, found the pattern online, made a late night trip to JoAnn, prewashed the fabric Friday night, then cut and sewed the shirts Saturday morning before leaving for the party at two. Phew! They were so fun to sew (especially on my new serrrrrrrrger!). I think this sew was just what I needed to get out of my funk. Challenging enough to make me work, but easy enough to be really satisfying.
