As the weather warms up, it’s the perfect time to start thinking about warm-weather garments so that you can have them ready to go when the heat hits.
I also find that I sometimes hate a project as soon as I’ve finished it, but a cooling-off period of a month (or two) usually sees me come round to its charms. So, I sew them early so I have time to love them again before they’re needed!
