Make A Garment A Month

So I have looked through all of the patterns I have purchased over the year to try and figure out which pattern I want to be my first challenge. I decided to make the Vogue Pattern V8955. This is a wide leg pant that looks great. I will be making view C with the top on View B. I have never sewn a Vogue Pattern so this will be my challenge for myself.

I also decided to go with a Rayon/Polyester knit fabric in black. I hope that is right. I remember reading the label on the bolt and if I remember right this was what I read.

Well Wish me luck and I will post pics when I'm done.

Welcome to 2014

Hello Bloggers and welcome to 2014. If you are like me you have made New Year's resolutions that you know are almost impossible to keep. Well one of my resolutions is to continue on my sewing journey. Last year I bought my first sewing machine, and throughout the year I made several clothing items. Some I messed up terribly and others things were a success. Well I decided to continue on my sewing journey and I also want to commit myself to sharing my journey with you. Last year I did start this blog but did not follow through like I wanted to, but hopefully I can make this part of my changes for the 2014 year.

I recently found a blog that is offering a challenge. I am going to join the challenge and I cannot wait to see what successes I can show through my newly found gift.

Also below are some pictures of some of the things that I did make in 2013.

I want to also share one of my inspirations that has motivated me in sewing. MiMi G. She is a great blogger and has the greatest style. Please find her and you will love it and will be inspired to sew. She has tutorials and is great in showing you step by step on how to complete garments.

So feel free to join my blog and follow me in 2014 on my journey.
