My ‘Might’ makes 2019

Posted on by Julia in Sew and Craft

I thought I would just talk to you about last month’s planned makes, that I did not get around to. If you saw my last video, you will know I am taking part in #sewmystyle and for February I wanted to make the ilford jacket, by the Friday Pattern Company There was a choice between this and/or Summit Pack but I don’t really need another bag, and have never made one before. Although the Summit Pack by Cloudsplitter  is really cute, I think I might put it on my to do list for another time

I always think bags seem hard to make ? What are your thoughts on this ?

So this months SMS is a choice between  Laela Jeyne Patterns Willa Vest | Liesl & Co. Patterns Gelato Blouse + Dress I don’t think I would wear the vest, but I would maybe wear the dress, but haven said that, the dress pattern is very like the Corney pattern that I already have, so I may not take part in SMS this month.

But I have also decided to bust my sash, this month , so I am using some black polyester Jersey from Minerva fabrics. I don’t really like this fabric, but I had it so I am gonna use it. Now I have had the Ogdin Cami by True Bias for ages and really love seeing all the lovely colourful tops made by others, so yes I am going to make that..yup..in black, call it a wearable twirl if you like, but I should get some wear out of it, i think black goes with anything and I love a monochrome look.

I have also had the linden sweatshirt top pattern by Grainline Studios, from last year and I am dying to make up, so I have chosen these fabrics for my first one, again from Minerva fabrics. I will make the Body in Black and the raglan sleeves in red, plain and simple .

I would also like to make the ultimate trousers from sew over it in either blue/black and maybe a white pair for the summer. Just cotton I think ? Another item that I have not attempted before.

Also for Easter I will make the In this another cotton  fabric, I will team it up with a charity shop topper and my very special Easter bonnet.

All  will be revealed later on in the month along with an Easter wreath for your home.

I used to be an Interior Designer, working mainly for IKEA where I traveled the world designing beautiful stores and room sets for them. A little bit about me, My love of sewing and all things crafty started when I was young. I had a lovely Auntie- Auntie Joan and she was so talented and I could not wait for the summer holidays to go to Whitby, where she lived,and to stay with my cousins, for the school holidays. Auntie Joan would have a mound of fabric to sew into teddies or doll clothes, there was paper and paints, always something different. My mum too, was quite crafty, knitting was her go to craft, all by hand - until - she bought a knitting machine ! Oh how we loved the sound of that as we tried to watch tv after school. But I remember trying out different crafts with my mum too, from crochet to basket weaving and everything in between.
