Sew Much To Learn! 


 

Present, Future and Last Projects - Phase 2

Present Projects:



Draft and sew a jacket for myself. This is to remove the fear, so I can move forward.  “If you can sew a jacket; you are an intermediate sewer and can sew almost anything.”   So this is my ultimate goal for 2010.

  1. Ready to draft first jacket designed by myself 3/4 done.   I was challenge to make a suit of my style preference.
  2. Attended Don McCunn's pattern-making class for Jan 25th (3 weeks). Purchased all class supplies. Class has been extended!

My First Bra Top I drafted Feb 6, 2010

3. Continue to work on blog and consolidate all my sites.
4.  Finish working on Website
5. Draft and sew a shirt pattern for my Auntie by End of April, 2010.  Drafted the shirt and will make the sloper this weekend Mar 27-28, 2010.  Aunt Joan Top Project
6. Continue to progress more on my sewing journey.

May Venture Wish-list
Panties, Bra and/or night gown. It seen as though I am working on the Venture Wish-list first, instead of Present Project (like jacket).

2009 Unfinished Project (taking a break after making Jeans for Christmas)

SewSister FX Pant/Jeans. My Tummy Tuck Jean version (taking a break from jeans - since it was the last thing I made):

I am working on my techniques for sewing. I also feel I can make a better fitting jeans with shaping. I purchased David Coffin book "Making Trousers" and want to try some of the techniques listed in his book. I am fully responsible for my own progress and ability because any failure on my part will be just that, my part. Any failure will not be due to the instructions or techniques given or shown. Follow my progress by clicking here. Major, major set back!!!! So disappointed!!!  Will come back to the jeans in 2010.
