It’s time for me to start thinking about what goals I want to accomplish for 2015. I have done more sewing in 2014 than I think I ever have in one single year! That is due to the RTW (ready-to-wear) fast that I participated in this year. I plan to do the same next year. I have had so much fun sewing things (for myself) and trying new techniques that it’s really been a great learning experience for me.
But, I’m still working on the coat. I had originally decided on Vogue 9069.
Then I realized that the pattern I purchased was too big (I made a muslin). I bought this in a large and it’s just too large. So, I decided I would make a different coat. But the problem is I really like this one. So, as I type this blog post, I am drying the fabric and lining I’m going to use for this. I re-sized my muslin (one thing I’ve learned to do pretty quickly this year), and will, hopefully this week, make or at least start this coat. Then I will have ended the year as it began – with a coat.
This is Vogue 8933 that I made in January.
So I hope to do another post before the end of the year. In any case, I wish you all Happy Holidays! Today (December 16) is my birthday so I will be celebrating with my family and NOT cooking tonight.
Thanks!
Thank you!
Thanks & happy new year!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! (and Happy Belated Birthday too!) I joined you in the 2014 RTW fast and enjoyed it too! Unfortunately, I won't be joining for 2015, but I truly wish you the best and will be watching for your great creations!
Belated birthday wishes to you!!
Happy Birthday!!!! Your purple coat is pretty!
Thanks! I hope to start the coat this week…
Oh Happy Birthday! Your purple coat is gorgeous…what a beautiful vibrant color. If you really like Vogue 9069, go for it! You have smartly made a muslin to work out the fit issues so it will work out just fine!
Thanks!
Happy birthday.. Love your coat… and know the one your working on now..will be beautiful too.. Happy sewing.
