Sewing Plans for January 2023

Trying to keep my goals for this year in mind and also think of what I need as I get thru the winter season.

Here is what I’m working on:

• Agnes Top from Tilly and the Buttons - Working with this fun Valentine’s Day jersey from Mood Fabrics.

• Simplicity S9273 Pattern - Using this Lady McElroy Crepe Jersey that I got from Minerva.

• Marlo Sweater from True Bias or the Tabor Sweater from Sew House Seven- I got 2 yards of this rayon knit fabric and trying to decide between the two. Which one would you select? The Marlo Sweater or the Tabor Sweater?

Ash Jeans from Megan Nielsen - I just used the top down center out (TDCO) method for another pair of pants and I must say I was really surprised how quickly I was able to fit my pants. And Although my pants were meant to be a loose pair of pants, you can make as many loose pair of pants as you want but if your butt doesn’t fit in there because the crotch curve is not allowing some room… then it’s not going to fit so needless to say I’m glad I went ahead and made a muslin. So for this pair of Ash Jeans, it’s going to be the exact same way.

• Isle Jeans from Chalk and Notch - This is going to be one of those we shall see if I get to it because they also have to be fitted but that will get done with the TDCO method. I still have to find fabric for these jeans because they call for a 10 ounce stretch denim fabric so that will be interesting to see what I find.

  What is everyone working on for January? I’m trying to start slow for January and get my bearing back as I’m also trying to get thru some projects that I got commissioned to do. So those take precedent right now and they are all sew alongs so for the month of January this is what I’m focusing on.
