#Gitscout sew full
I’m hoping to create a shirt dress version by creating an a-line silhouette and pulling the button placket down the full length of the dress. + Marigold Dress from Blank Slate Patterns. These are the patterns I want to hack, my hack nine, if you will. It’s got the look of a very wearable classic. I’ve been dying to make this top for a long time. + View Ridge Top from Straight Stitch Designs. What’s more wearable than a sweet shift dress? Plus, the Sonya has a sweet sleeve overlap detail. I love this pattern and also made this one already but it’s so comfortable I want another out of more structured knit material. + Salie Jumpsuit from Closet Case Patterns. I said I was taking on challenges, right? I mean, what is more challenging than a bikini! I think this high waist will work for my body but we will find out! The Sophie Swimsuit from Closet Case Patterns. I need a decent, well-fitting denim skirt. I have made this before but I’d like one in denim. Wish me luck on these, I’m very intimidated by these, too.

Given how many people have these on their Make Nine list, I don’t think I’m alone. The Lander Pants, on the other hand, have been calling my name since they were released.

Basically, it’s more fun and easy to make tops so I tend to gravitate in that direction and keep wearing jeans and other ‘bottoms’ that I really don’t like that much. A perfunctory assessment of my current wardrobe revealed a glaring lack of “things to wear on the bottom half of my body”. + Lisbon Slip from Seamwork! Mostly I’m adding this one to the list because I want to wear it around our airbnb while we are on vacation this summer. + Acacia Underwear from Megan Nielsen Ok, I know they aren’t exactly challenging to sew (I don’t think?) but I’ve never made undies before and I feel like it is time. I can’t decide if I want it in wool or sweatshirt material, though. It’s a coat and that is super scary (it has a zipper AND toggles! Woah.) but it’s super cute and I wear my other handmade jacket a lot. Here are my sewing plans for the Make Nine list: I’m hoping by documenting all of this here I will keep myself organized and won’t end up straying off track. So, I expanded the idea to Make Nine, Hack Nine and Basics. I wanted to reserve my Make Nine list for more challenging sewing and leave tees and leggings on the basics list. I realized as I tried to make my list of nine things that many of my sewing plans are actually pattern hacks or boring basics. This year, inspired by the beautiful Make Nine posts popping up all over Instagram (and hosted by Rochelle New) I vowed to organize my sewing plans for 2018. It’s unbearably inefficient and I seriously frustrate myself. Ideas land in my paper planner, scribbled in the margins of a journal or on my coquis paper. On various scraps of paper that end up in various places. More accurately, I make lists of what I’m going to sew. Almost every year, I start out with a list of things I am going to sew.
