It’s been two months since I did my so-called monthly recap and I nearly forgot to do this one! I’ve had a very busy past couple of months and there was not nearly as much sewing as usual. For most of March, I was getting ready to go on my trip to Japan, working a lot and sewing some things for the trip. My trip to Japan was fantastic (keep reading for a few pictures and info) but I’ve had trouble getting back in the groove since returning in early April. I think it was partly jet lag, partly life stuff (adulting is the worst! ;) and part that I didn't have an immediate goal in front of me.

It feels particularly hard to write this month’s “works-in-progress” update. The news has been very distressing to me and also very distracting. As is usual in January, my freelance work was light so I’ve been able to spend more time sewing and making. I spent much of December and the first part of January working on pussyhats for the Women’s March. If you follow me on Instagram, you will have already seen the stacks of hats I made.
