This month's FNSI was pretty productive for me, although there was definitely an unintentional colour theme to what I worked on.
Whilst waiting for my partner to finish work (and free up the table I use for sewing) I added some more stitches to my Jumping Dots wrap/scarf in Scheepjes Whirl and coordinating dark grey whirlette.
The main plan for my FNSI was to continue with my toile for my Sew Over It Marguerite dress. I decided that I needed to insert the nexf size up waistband so I cut a new waistband, interfaced pressed and started to sew it to the bodice when I discovered I'd made a mistake whilst tracing which meant that one side was an inch too short! I was very tempted to put it in the naughty corner but remembered I had the smaller waistband all cut out so I cut a bit off and added the misding inch to my waistband. Not a particularly pretty solution but it kept me sewing.
By the time I was too tired to continue sewing I had the bodice and skirt attached and am all prepared to start inserting the zip. So far so good, looking forward to getting the zip in and finally checking the fit.
I finished my knit with some simple knitting on the thumb of a mitten.
And to avoid inventing second mitten syndrome I managed to cast on the second mitten.
Pop over to Wendy's Blog to see what everyone else got up to.

Nice job on your mitten and probably a good idea to cast on for the 2nd immediately! Sometimes I suffer from 2nd-sock syndrome so I know what you're talking about. Ha!
Your scarf is looking great, Vicki.
Such pretty projects, Vicki. Love those mittens.
