This year I am participating in the #2018makenine challenge. Previous post on this here. I picked nine items I have been wanting to make but did not have enough specific plans and kept putting off. I was hoping these were going to be things I would love wearing and that would work with my capsules made last year. It is time to reflect upon how the sewing is going and whether the plans are working out. I have thus far made 3 of the 9 items.
Here is my inspiration collage.
#1 - Sherpa Vest - I used Designer Stitch pattern - Ilse vest to make this vest. I love the way the material feels. I am new to vest wearing and clearly, I have been missing out! The only thing is the belt is a pain to have to tie without a mirror. I am planning to add a button closure and then I will be able to wear this everywhere.
#2 - Harem pants - I used another Designer Stitch Pattern - Indu pants for these! Previous post on this is here. I love wearing them all the time! This whole outfit with the matching Drama top is just darling.
#3 - Windowpane Shirt - For this I used the Wardrobe By Me pattern Perfect Tunic. I've had this fabric for about 2 years now. I kept it around to make myself a tunic of my dreams! This has become a staple in my existing wardrobe.
So not bad considering we're into March. I do have some vacations coming up though so I expect things to slow down a bit. I'm thinking the next one will be the swing top or maybe the mustard yellow skirt. I have another Designer Stitch pattern - Megan skirt that will be perfect for that.
