my #makenine this year breaks away from the original challenge in that it won’t all be #slowfashion for me. some are specific, some are open-ended.. looking forward to recreating old favorites, revisiting forgotten crafts & challenging myself to projects totally foreign to me. how long can i get away with having one space left? who knows what else needs to be done this year. #makenine2019 #makeninechallenge #knitting #crafting #making #creating #globe #candles #watercolor #gold #2019makenine #2019makeninechallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/BsJZBLJHyEh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lutnzwt9ld5j

My hat was the project I was struggling with on Tuesday. I finished it and then put the ribbon on and I loved it. I thought I would love it even more when I covered it in flowers but alas that wasn't the case. I also tried to film the flowermaking process but that didn't go anywhere. So I came back to it refreshed yesterday morning, added a sprinkling of roses and called it done. I will have a blog post about it in a few weeks as it is my second #2019makenine of the year. #seamstress #hat #edwardian #victorian #inspired #fabricflowers #roses #simple #milinary #newskill https://www.instagram.com/p/BvjMLzaF-9V/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14hiln29xcvtv

The video for this #2019makenine project is now up! I bought this white dress at #bestival a couple of years ago from the @oxfaminternational shop and it has been a staple in my wardrobe ever since. I partularly like wearing it with stays so wanted to make myself a new one. The clone doesn't have waist ties so it is boxy, but my gosh is it comfy! #seamstress #dressmaker #smallbusiness #memade #memadewardrobe #handcrafted #handmade #dress #blackdobbyspot #trim #ribbon #ruffles #summer #breezy #cloned #clonedwardrobe https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz_iVIMnuSc/?igshid=t7yqjg23obcf

Ok, it's not the greatest picture but this is the corset cover from my #2019makenine plans. It has turned out maybe a little too short int the tprso, and I stirched the binding onto the wrong side but it works, and the ties allow me to afjust nicely anyway. #seamstress #sewing #makeninechallenge #corst #corsetcover #vintage #victorian #inspired https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw7oGreHJKo/?igshid=b0am7gasp0fq

Today I was working on my 3rd makenine of the year. I made it in a slightly different way to my pink one so there were a couple of mistakes but it's still really sweet and I go into detail on what I would change in the future blog post. #ladylillithcostume #seamstress #corsetcover #broderieanglaise #2019makenine #victorian #inspired #lace #cute #peplum #ruched https://www.instagram.com/p/BvzKfYTl3Dy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=152b39fxpzfkp

So, we’re already a quarter of the way through the year and I have completed one project! I have a video of my #2019makenine plans here if you want to find out more detail. I thought it would be easier to film it rather than write it this year.

My first make is this carpet bag. I used The Companion Carpet bag pattern by Sewing By Mrs H as a base, but it was a little too small for my liking and I didn’t like the kind of severe shape at the top. So I cut out the pattern for the 12in frame and made some adjustments.

I widened the top of the pattern to 8.25 inches.

This meant the gusset needed to be a tad shorter and wider as there wasn’t such a sheer curve to the sides. I cut the gusset as 38.5 x 9 inches.

Lastly, the bag frame channels were lengthened to 24 x 2.5 inches.

I ordered a 16in bag frame and stabilizers from sewhot. For the outside fabric I used some of this vintage fabric which I have available in my eBay store, and the lining was some leftover Laura Ashley quilting cotton I’ve had floating around in my stash for a while.

The bag was relatively easy to put together following the instructions given in the download, so I won’t go too much into detail. I have never made a bag before and this was a really positive experience and I am planning to make another one later in the year.

The bag does have an internal pocket which isn’t the neatest but no-one else is going to see it really!

Once the shell is completed I put on the bag handles, and the buckle. I originally bought two buckles and was going to place them either side of the handles but there wasn’t enough room. I don’t think the bag really needs buckles anyway after using it a few times, the frame is pretty sturdy and stays shut.

I then finished the bag by inserting the lining and sewing on the frame channels. The frame was easy to insert though it did need a bit of dexterity to get the teeny tiny screws back in!

And that���s it! I absolutely love this bag and will definitely be making another later in the year.

My #2018MakeNine Sewing Review...err, it's not quite as good as I thought!

My #2018MakeNine Sewing Review…err, it’s not quite as good as I thought!

Hello! I thought it timely to do an end of year review of my #2018MakeNine makes, since I’m planning my #2019MakeNine Sewing! In short, this year my plans seem to have started with a flourish, gained some solid middle ground and then, surprisingly, dwindled to absolutely nothing, as we shall see! Unlike the previous year, I still stand by #2018MakeNine plans; what I haven’t sewn yet, I’m…

A couple of my #makenine challenges this year are knitting, and most of them are things I’ve already made that I’ve fallen in love with. Last year was a spectacular sweater year, can’t wait to see what’s released this year.

my #makenine this year breaks away from the original challenge in that it won’t all be #slowfashion for me. some are specific, some are open-ended.. looking forward to recreating old favorites, revisiting forgotten crafts & challenging myself to projects totally foreign to me. how long can i get away with having one space left? who knows what else needs to be done this year. #makenine2019 #makeninechallenge #knitting #crafting #making #creating #globe #candles #watercolor #gold #2019makenine #2019makeninechallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/BsJZBLJHyEh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lutnzwt9ld5j
