1 project per week sewing challenge
After looking at my gargantuan fabric stash and kind of grieving a little over ‘me made may’s end, I have decided to set a sewing challenge called ‘1 project per week’ (#1ppw #1projectper week) the challenge is this: complete 1 sewing project per week for a month. The project can anything, big or small (re-fashions count too).
I suggested it on instagram and some of my lovely instagram sewing buddies decided to participate too! Yay! Much more fun when it’s not just me. 🙂
If you feel like being part of this challenge let me know in the comments or on instagram. You can post your creations on your blog and/or on instagram.
It doesn’t have to be for the whole month either, you can try it out for however long you like. I realize it’s a pretty big commitment and I understand that 1 sewing project every week is a lot. I just felt like giving it a go because I have the time at the moment.
Also if you are on instagram and want to participate don’t forget tag your weekly creations as #1ppw
I count this week as my first week… I’m making a ponte dress and I am about 20-30% done. Better get back to it 😉

I would love to join you in 1PPW if my home renovations finish up and I manage to clean up my house and set up my sewing space before the end of the month. Even if I can’t join you I will enjoy everyone’s makes on instagram 🙂 Have fun, Kath and I look forward to seeing your ponte dress.
Thanks. I look forward to seeing your 1PPW, but if things are too hectic I can completely understand. Its going to be so fun setting up your sewing space! Do let us have a peek at it! ☺
Brilliant idea! I have some time on my hands at the moment and could give that a try. I’m not a quick sewer, so I don’t know if I will manage to stick to it, but it’s the thought that counts, right? Anything that gets me started on my full stash sounds like a good idea to me!
It sure is (the thought that counts)! That’s great! If it gets you stash-busting then I’d say its still a massive win regardless of how long you participate 🙂
This is a brilliant idea! 🙂 Count me in too! I’m really busy this week, but I’m up for challenges now, and I resolved not to buy new fabric until I get rid of “da stash”, so I’ll be aiming to finish a refashion at first somehow…the motivation bit is at least sorted!
Yay! That’s so awesome! I’m so happy to hear that! ☺ That’s a good approach! I have zero room for fabric, but somehow I keep finding space for new stuff but It has to stop- at least for a while!
I know! You know that there is no point in getting more fabric in, but there is no way you can go into a fabric shop and leave empty handed. That just doesn’t work like that. My solution is not to go at all if I want to be good. 🙂 Maybe it would also help if we put a sticker on the fabric with a date of purchase and shame ourselves into using the ones standing on the shelves for more than a year…
How fun! I’ll try to do that this June. 🙂
Ooo that’s just brilliant! 🙂 😀 Nice one!
What a great idea, I almost did it in May. Hmmm…I am finishing up a dress right now that I think should count.
Is that dress in the pic for this post something you have made?
It totally counts! 🙂 Even if you just want to take part for a week or 2 that’s still totally cool!
Yes the pink dress is something I made some time ago 😀 . I did blog it, but my blog is a bit of a mess navigation-wise. Its something I plan to tackle soon!
I’ve been working on a goal of 1PPW for about a month now. So far, I’m doing pretty well. My project for last week still needs to be photographed and blogged though. Maybe having a bit of encouragement will help, so count me in.
Oh nice! Good for you and thanks for joining in! 🙂
I’m looking forward to it! My goal for today is to get my latest project posted and draft the pattern for my next one, hopefully my little one cooperates.
Yeah, might as well make it official! I’m not on instagram, but I’m sure you can follow my makes on daughter no2! 🙂
Yay! So glad you are in! I have been loving her mum made may posts! So stylish! 🙂
I am a bit sad about the end of mmmay too and this idea is perfect! I also NEED to use up some of my stash. So I am in and can’t wait to see what everyone makes!
Horray! Thanks for joining me 🙂 let’s turn these stash fabrics into beautiful things!
Great idea! I’m in! I’ve made 2 this week, so am a week ahead!
Haha awesome!! 🙂
i could totally take part in this! ive already made a top… maybe i can make a skirt this week!
Oh Yay! That would be so awesome!! Great idea 🙂 are you thinking of making a mini? I love that purple plaid wool you found at Fabric-a-brac
