In January I didn't get sew as much for myself as I hoped. It seems to be a recurring theme that my motivations drops at the beginning of the year. But regained with the last days of January.
I wanted to sew up a sample for the updated Intro to Jersey course and forgot that I really liked the pattern. I ended up sewing 5 t-shirts in the a week or so.
I sewed up another Myosotis Dresses by Deer & Doe - hear all about my first version in this blog post. The second dress, I made in a Chambray and kept the skirt piece simple without the extra ruffle and changed the sleeves again. I love the idea of ties on sleeves. It gives the dress a cute look and interesting feature. I have a third one cut and the bodice is sewn - only sleeve and skirt are missing. This version is in a Rayon Challis, so a bit lighter than the crepe version which worries me a bit on breezy days.
As part of my #makenine2020 list ('sew for him'), I made a fleece jacket. There is a pattern review already on the blog. I am happy with the end result, getting had a few issues involved!
I also sewed up 3 t-shirt samples for Little Intro to Jersey, two dresses for an upcoming photoshoot and four samples for a new 'confident beginner' course. So keep your eyes peeled for that!
I think I am ready to start sewing my jeans or blazer - in my head at least. I think I will make a start with getting the pattern ready and make small steps to achieve this goal this year.
