WELCOME...Made in a Day!
I'm opening up a new page in this blog called Made in a Day. You'll see this page on the top navigation bar immediately to the right of the Home button. The garments you'll see featured are ones that could generally be easily made in a day.
I know some of you sew faster than others. I know we often have unforeseen 'oopses' that take longer than we wish they would to correct. And I know that many of you due to family and work commitments don't have a full day to devote to any project, much less a sewing project. But all things considered, the projects you'll see will all be ones that could be made in a day under ideal circumstances.
Simple to design...simple to sew...that's the objective. There are all kinds of designs already offered within the Sure-Fit Designs instructional materials and information that would fall into this category. So for those of you who are either new to sewing or new to designing and sewing your own garments, these suggestions would be excellent starting options.
Sometimes there might be a Fashion Leaflet that shows you how to design/sew the item. Sometimes the project will already be featured in one of the kit instruction books or in one of the designing books (Pants that Mix n Multiply or Beyond Bodice Basics or Sew Sensational Shirts). Sometimes I might have produced a video for your instructions. Other times, it might just be instructions within the blog. One way or the other, you should be able to access enough information to make the project.
You'll be able to recognize the project by the new logo 'Made in a Day'.
I'd love to hear what you think of this idea, so please use the comment box below and let me know what you think.
And for those of you who have your own blog, please feel free to share this SFD 'Made in a Day' page with them...the more the merrier!
Kindly,
Glenda...the Good Stitch!
P.S. I'd love to know what sewing projects you've made in a day (or ones that would fall into this category). And I'd love to see your photos.
Being an impatient personality, this would be inspirational for me to get sewing and get going! Thank you Good Stitch!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Barb! This is such a great idea ( and I looove your new title! Very apt.).
ReplyDeleteBarb & Aless, thanks so much for the feedback...knowing this is on the right track.

PS - I've been getting lots of positive comments on the 'Good Stitch' too. That's great...I'd 'wondered' about using it.
Bring it on - as usual Glenda you're right on the button. Weave your magic and wave your wand I say!!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to wave my wand and clone myself! There's never enough hours in my day to get everything done that I'd like to offer - LOL!
ReplyDeleteHaving access to an assortment of quick-to-make wardrobe builders is a great resource. Thanks! I'll definitely be trying those pajama pants and the copy cat tunic is already on my future projects list.
ReplyDeleteDenise...you are most welcome!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea - and your new "name"!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to checking out, and maybe even trying, these quick projects. My wardrobe certainly needs new items.
Thanks Leonie, it's great to have your feedback!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to this!
ReplyDeleteThis will certainly be useful for those times when I have a bit of free time for sewing! I look forward to it!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Glenda! I love the idea and the new name. I still love the SFD kits and use them all of the time. I just haven't had time to post lately with the new job. Happy sewing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the time to comment. I'm glad to hear you are still sewing and loving your SFD kits.
ReplyDeleteKindly,
Glenda the Good Stitch!
Glenda, I appreciate any opportunity to get a better "hands-on" feel with my "works" kit. Thank You for doing this. I think its a GREAT addition.
ReplyDeleteFantastic idea. I am super busy so anything to shave time or steps off my sewing is welcome. I am a newbie to SFD but am loving the fact that I finally have clothes that fit my body. Thank you Glenda!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the inspirational sewing. I am a newbie to SFD with the Pants Kit to start me off. I have been sewing on & off since grade 7 Home Ec- that's 55 years ago. I want to shout it from the mountain tops (less than 1 hr away)- "SFD is FANTASTIC. Made in a Day is FANTASTIC."
ReplyDeleteHello, I love the Good Stitch Blog theme and I am also excited for the Made in a Day. I hope that it will provide me with more design options to get practice in applying modifications to create different looks. I think by getting options that are made to be more quickly completed, I will gain confidence in using my kits for me and to start using the kits for members of my family. Thank you for all your help
ReplyDeleteHi Laura, Thanks for your comments. I always appreciate customer feedback. And yes, I think this Made in A Day page will help to give many users quick & simple projects to get started with. Watch in your Sept SFD Newsletter as my plan is to have another quick cap sleeve project for you.
DeleteKindly,
Glenda...the Good Stitch!
