Milmompreneur Maker: Wherever we go, I quilt, teach & sew!

4x7 Sewing Challenge - Week 1 Progress

2/6/2016

Do you love the habit of sewing for yourself daily? Are you loving your progress this week?
Isn't it a lovely feeling to be getting so much accomplished?

And speaking of, don't you just love these cute patterns from Kitty at Night Quilter? They scream Valentine's Day, so they're the perfect prize for our first week of the 4x7 Sewing Challenge!

Link up your progress between now and Friday, February 12th, and you'll be entered to win two PDF patterns (Love Struck and Love Is the Key) plus a $15 store credit to PBnJ Paperie! The credit could be especially helpful if you own a copy of the Quilter's Planner, since the shop sells adorable sewing stickers for mapping out your time spent stitching just like the ones I shared here.

Don't have a Quilter's Planner yet? Kitty is currently hosting a giveaway, so hop over and register today! (Hurry! Her drawing closes on the 10th.)

As for me, my progress is somewhat shameful... I did work every single day (hurray, habit!) but in no world should a pair of pj pants take a week to assemble. (You can see my pitifully slow progress updates on Instagram.) In better news, though, my husband arrives home very soon after a few months away for work and that means going forward I should finally be able to enjoy some uninterrupted studio time!

Ok, here we go - time to share what you're working on:

Link closes at 11:55 pm EST on Friday, February 12th. Winner will be announced on the blog on Sunday, February 14th and prizes will be sent via email.

Pajama pants could take me a week to make because EVERY time I make pants, I sew the U the wrong way. Not kidding!

If I am posting my pictures on Instagram with the hashtag, do I still need to link up here? How do I do that?

Yes, Kim, if you would like to be entered in each week's giveaway, you do need to link up. (If not, then don't worry - you can still have fun sewing and I'll find you on IG with the hashtag! : )

How to:
1. Go to your photo on IG.
2. Click the little three dots under the photo on the right and click "copy share URL" (the link will be copied).
3. Click "Add Your Link" here and paste the URL.

It's really easy : ) Thanks for joining in the challenge!

My son had surgery Tuesday so I didn't sew all 7 days. I was able to sew on 4 days but the other three weren't lost. I used those to organize my creative thoughts (started sketching idea in head, sorted through projects for this week). Giving my time to even think creatively was a huge benefit for my mind.

Great prizes! I didn't have a lot of time to sew this week, but I managed to get 30 minutes a day. Hoping to find more time this week.

Lol I should have read the comments first and I could have just linked my IG. Well it's good to get my quilting blog started anyhow!
