#2017MakeNine Adventure
I was having a hard time deciding what I wanted to commit to. In truth, I really want to do two sets of make nine. I needed one for the girls, and one for myself. I just started with the girls and if I crank through it quickly, I’m going to do one for myself too. You can see my projects below.
How did I choose my nine? I started by thinking about patterns that I already have and have been wanting to make but haven’t gotten around to it yet. I put together a list and then started thinking about what patterns would pair well together and the “look” I prefer to go for these days. You see, I started out sewing a lot of boutique-y type stuff and now I feel like I’m pulling away from some of that look and going for more of a high fashion, sleeker vibe. I guess I’m developing my own sense of fashion. That said, there are a few patterns here that can swing either way based on option and fabric choice. A lot also depends on styling too.
So, here are the details from left to right and top to bottom on my collage of nine.
- Chalk and Notch Fishtail Kimono
- Shwin Designs Glass Onion Top
- Simple Life Pattern Company Sarah Ann’s Cuff Leggings and Capris*
- Tadah Library Blouse
- This one is a mystery. I don’t even know what it is yet. Keeping my options open.
- Tadah Tulip Skirt
- Simple Life Pattern Company Isla’s Infinity Tunic and Dress*
- Sewlosophy Serendipity Beret and Swing Coat. These are no longer available for purchase as far as I’m aware. This designer put out a collection and then literally disappeared. I’ve always wondered what happened. I purchased the entire collection at release: pants, shirt, coat, and beret. I’ve only made the pants and the top, but they were super adorable! I’ll share a little pic of those.
- Mix It – Make It Millie Dress (Free Pattern!)
See. Isn’t that super cute?! I love the trousers and the top was a perfect match. This was way back at the beginning of my sewing adventure. In fact, I think this top may have been my first ever button holes. Peyton’s school pictures were in this outfit.
Okay… I think that wraps up my plans for #2017makenine. Come back in a few minutes because I have already made one of my nine and need to tell you about it!
