I’ve gone a little bit out of order here. As of yesterday I have a shiny new second pair of Dawn Jeans so I’m sharing them whilst my edits and the experience are fresh in my mind. I said previously I wanted to make these as my old ready to wear pairs had seen betterContinue reading “Make Nine 2020 – It’s Dawning on Me”

Make Nine 2020 – Getting Wilder
Sorry about the pun. We had a big debate at sewing club about whether it was pronounced Will-der or WILDer. I’ve gone with WILDer, correct me if I’m wrong.

I’ve pledged to myself that everything I buy/make will getContinue reading “Make Nine – The Faux Jumpsuit”
Make Nine 2020 – Pattern Selection
I’m starting the blog with a series of posts on my Make Nine 2020. I restarted my sewing adventure in August 2019 when I moved to Bristol and suddenly had time to sew and a sewing community to join! I decided that a make nine would be a good way to keep my sew-jo goingContinue reading “Make Nine 2020 – Pattern Selection”
