Love your plans, Val! I am in love with the print for the Elodie dress and mouse ears! That's my favorite. I also love the green linen. Beautiful. I can't wait to see these come to fruition. I don't have any doubt you will do this. Keep it fun, too.
I think the Ilford jacket will be gorgeous in that fabric. The Nash pants will be so cute styled with the amari. I am also going to attempt a quilt this year. I am doing the one where you make a block using the books you read for the colors.
Yes, Valerie, we believe you can do it! I’ve been inspired by your past make of the Blanca Flightsuit and want to make one soon from a McCalls pattern. Currently, I’m fine tuning my understanding of how to make pants fit before I tackle some jeans. And I want to make a corduroy jacket. And I just want to make all the things! 😂
Hi Val - I love these ideas, I have the Elodie pattern and the fabric bought, just need to re-measure myself and make it! I just finished a lap quilt, I bought the pre-cut fabric at Stitch Buffalo, a great resource for quilt squares. Finishing up another Closet Core t-shirt this weekend. Happy Sewing :)
@@what_valerie_makes I was there yesterday and they had tables covered so I couldn't see :( I may try and go on my way to Niagara Falls today..... YOU live close, go!
Yay! Sewing plans! 🎉 I’ve made the Elodie before and also have a small bust & am short (#winning). I highly recommend making a toile of the bodice. Getting the waist to hit at the right place is super key to the fit & totally worth taking the time to figure it out. Once I figured out the fit it was like magic! ✨ It is such a beautiful dress! I made it for an outdoor wedding and it was crazy windy - also recommending shorts 😂. Your plans sound super fun. Happy sewing!
So cute! I love the spruce green set you’re gonna make for Jordan. And you’ve got me wanting to make some Nash pants now too! I’m hoping to get back into the swing of sewing things next week? Maybe, hopefully? I haven’t decided if I’m gonna start my 2025 sewing with a quick win tee shirt kinda project or dive straight into jeans making 🤗
Fabulous plans, Valerie. I can't wait to see them made up. I'm just about to Start the Zadie dress by Style Arc.Pattern's printed, fabric's washed wish me luck 🥰
You were my motivation whilst digging through my fabric scraps. I have to redo the waistband of some joggers and now I have the fabric. The elastic was to weak and thin to hold up the joggers. Plans: fix this waistband, finnish pj trousers with teddy bears and make a zippered hoodie (if succesful maybe more than one) and make at least two Hera sweaters with the puffiest sleeves.
I am slowly working on the Cornell shirt by Elbe Textiles and a Remy Raglan from Sew House Seven. I am also cutting out scraps for a quilt. I am going to free style the pattern, but I have an idea for kind of a rectangle checkerboard look. So two colors for each section in a rectangle checkerboard. I'm limiting the colors to shades of brown and navy. We'll see how it turns out! It's for my son and his wife and these are colors they would like. Happy sewing and thank you for the video!
That blog post they have for the Elodie has made me feel better about going for it! I may make a top with the pattern first just to make sure but I feel hopeful☺
Yesterday I finished a pair of black linen Saguaro set pants to match a black linen wrap top I made last month and today I started a Fortiv tulip top in a remant of cute upholstery fabric I thrifted and have been dying to use. I'm hoping to finish it tonight and next week start either the top or jeans from Knowme 2002 (I think?).
I made the Elodie wrap dress like 4 years ago and had issues with a small bust. I would definitely toile it up first. I don't remember if I did any specific adjustments though.. It's possible I didn't because that was the year I learned to sew and I was very arrogant lol. My next sewing projects are going to be a bunch of knit dresses. I think I'll use the SW Aaronica dress pattern.
I think I’m going to make a top version first to check the fit. Excited to give it a try! I haven’t made that Seamwork dress yet but it looks like something I’d love. Good luck 🤗
I am finishing up a pattern emporium jacket and then plan on making a few things for my granddaughters.
Great plans, looking forward to all the beautiful makes!
❤❤❤
Thank youuuu!🤗

Thanks for the kind words! I've been able to make some progress in the last few days!!

That's a great idea about the quilt! I just finished cutting out my Ilford today but have been sick so I haven’t had much energy.
Such a fun video!! Great plans Valerie ❤
Thank you!! 😊

Sounds like you've got an amazing sewing plan! I'm with you on making all the things. 😂

Stitch has a big sale Saturday! I’m trying to tell myself that I don’t need anything 🫣 Iol

Thanks for the Elodie advice! I’ll definitely be making a toile. Shorts are a must with all my dresses so I’m covered there lol

I'm interested in those jeans you plan on making so for selfish reasons I think you should start with those and then report back!🤗

That sounds like a fun project and you are all set to go! Good luck!

Those sound like some great plans. I've never made a zip hoodie before. I should give it a go!

What a great gift! It sounds like it’s going to be lovely. Happy sewing 🪡
Love all these plans! I have the Elodie on my list for this year too - so nervous about getting the fit right!

How do the go on rides in a wrap dress work? Even a windy day get sometimes riskey. And that fabric scream Mirabell
Oh I don’t wear dresses without shorts underneath so I’m not worried about that, good question though!
the fabric for the jacket is amazing. however I'd change the jacket pattern. the one you choose just does not look modern
It has already been cut out! I guess we will see how it turns out🤗
