2018 Make Nine Sewing Project

It's almost the end of February 2018 but not too far into the year so I have decided to do the 2018 Make Nine Sewing project.I figured I have plenty of time to finish all nine pieces.  Anyone ns is suppose to choose nine garments to make throughout the year.   I saw this on Youtube and thought it was a great way for me to get back into sewing my own clothes again after not making anything in two years. When I decided to do this I started looking for fabric in my closets, cabinets, and containers. I found plenty for everything I want  to make + more. I'm a pretty fast sewer so I'm pretty sure I can make more than nine garments. In order for me not to forget about it or start something else I am organizing everything into a binder that I specifically bought for this purpose. I need to have a written plan to work with,  or my ADD will kick in and I'll jump from project to project and before I know it I have seven or eight things waiting for me and then I get overwhelmed and it goes back into the closet of no return. This is just a goal I'm setting for myself.
This is the binder I bought for my Make Nine organization. I'm sure I will be adding things to it once I start sewing the clothes.

1st dress row 1, 2nd dress row 2 are very old patterns but very comfortable dress that I made a long time ago.
Due to my being older and having lost some weight I have to take all these measurements again.

I got this croquis off line I erased her clothes so I can draw on her any changes I make to the pattern.

 A sheet with lot's of info I must fill out so I can remember exactly what I used.

I'm going to try and not buy too much for each garment since I have all of the supplies I need.

The more I look at the Make Nine Batch 1 garment choices the more I'm convinced they are not very
challenging so I have created this second garment page of my other garment choices. If for any reason I no longer want to make a garment from Batch 1 I can only replace it with something from Batch 2. I have chosen lots of blouses that's for sure! If you noticed the garments on Batch 1, row 1, #1, Row2 #2.  Batch 2. row 2  #1  are very old patterns that came out in the 90's or 80's, but they were also patterns of dresses that I liked very much. I have so many patterns it's ridiculous!

  1. I've decided to jump on the 2018 make 9 bandwagon too for the first time. You've chosen some really nice patterns. I'll be on the lookout to see your finished garments!
