27-Feb-2025 : Sewing Challenge 2025 - 100 dresses in 100 days

 It has been awhile since I did a sewing challenge. This year I am challenging myself to 100 dresses in 100 days. I joined a challenge called The 100 Day Project which started last Sunday(23-Feb-2025) and ends on the 2nd of Jun. I thought this was a very good opportunity for me to do 100 dresses as well although my main project is actually drawing 100 houses in 100 days. It does not take me long to sew one dress so I added this in as a personal challenge on the side. That would mean i draw one house and sew one dress everyday if possible for the next 100 days and let me not forget that starting this Saturday, 1st of March is the start day of my commitment to walk 150kms for kids with cancer. I have the whole month of March to do the 150kms but since I already walk everyday I do not see this as a problem unless it will be too hot during the day or it rains. I did the Camino de Santiago in 2023 and walked 155kms in 8 days.

At the moment, I am not thinking and/or planning distributions. I just want to sew 100 dresses in 100 days. One dress, one plan at a time.

So far, I have drawn 6/100 houses since I started last Sunday and have sewn 5/100 dresses. I just need to re-organize my time, what my priorities are during the day. I will not be showing any of my drawings here but see below the five dresses I have done so far.

I think I have 3-5 more cuts of the same fabric and the bolt is done.
I created an album so I can keep track of my sewing. I will only be posting what I have completed every week but if anyone is interested to check it out, please click here.
