I want to track the items I’ve made pep this year and remembered this blog 11 years later so here are my projects from January 2022.

This is a top I made from a subscription box. It was supposed to be a crop top but I added some length to it. Not anything I would have chosen but I like it. Should have made the sleeves a bit longer but pics I had seen made them look super long. Never underestimate the length of my gorilla arms.

Made 2 shirts for Duncan and one for lily today. That bottom navy fabric was not friendly. Ugh. It wanted to stretch while I sewed. I learned how to loosen my pressure foot on my overlock. That helped a bit. I sewed the neckband on backwards on lily’s shirt.

Made lily a shirt and some joggers. She did NOT want me to take a picture.

Joggers for Benjamin and Aaron. Love this pattern that lets me put in measurements and prints the pattern the size I need. So nice. Works for everyone in the house. These are the same pattern as the joggers lily is wearing above.

This is a shacket. Also from a subscription box. Finally finished it this month. This is one of the more difficult projects I have done lately. Haven’t seen woven in a while and lots of matching of plaids, plus plackets on both sides and a collar. I haven’t sewn something this structured in years - like at least 15 years, maybe 20.
