This has always kept me from this simple task: sewing what I actually need. This is why I decided to rally the #makenine project this year.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>The name is rather self-explainatory (but the project is detailed <a href=\"https:\/\/luckylucille.com\/the-make-nine-challenge\/\">here<\/a>): set you mind on 9 pieces of clothing to sew in 2019. Nine clothes in twelve months may not seem like a lot. I obviously intend to make more. Yet, if I&#8217;m perfectly honest, I&#8217;m not sure I finished 9 clothes in 2018, so this project may help me to keep track. I&#8217;m also rather diappointed by the content of my list: I wish it were made of more elaborate, <a href=\"https:\/\/carlotta.land\/index.php\/2011\/09\/12\/fall-style-sweet-sour\/\">glamorous<\/a> garments&#8230; But let&#8217;s face the facts: I&#8217;m not really a glamorous person anyway &#8211; again, &#8220;done (or in ths case, sewn), is better than perfect&#8221;. Let&#8217;s have a look at the list (always my favorite part in this type of article anyway)!<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2004\" height=\"2672\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/carlotta.land\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/2019makenine.jpg?fit=525%2C700&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/carlotta.land\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/2019makenine.jpg?w=2004&amp;ssl=1 2004w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/carlotta.land\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/2019makenine.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/carlotta.land\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/2019makenine.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/carlotta.land\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/2019makenine.jpg?w=1240 1240w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/carlotta.land\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/2019makenine.jpg?w=1860 1860w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/helenscloset.ca\/product\/suki-kimono-pdf-pattern\/\">Suki kimono<\/a> (Helen&#8217;s Closet) : this collection&#8217;s luxurious item. Chic pajamas, romantic nightshirts, luscious robes&#8230; loungewear has <a href=\"https:\/\/carlotta.land\/index.php\/2011\/03\/05\/mini-bloomers-mens-pajamas\/\">always<\/a> been an obsession of mine. I have many &#8220;kimono&#8221; patterns, but the Suki has many pretty details. <br><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/iampatterns.fr\/fr\/patrons\/6-hermes.html\">Herm\u00e8s shirt<\/a> shirt, IAM patterns. It&#8217;s a risk, since I already have a favorite shirt pattern (which is more fitted), and I&#8217;ve already made this pattern without finishing it (I was unimpressed by the fit). Still, I&#8217;m giving it another chance as I would like to wear more shirts, and it sums up perfectly what I want: a loose fit with bust darts (I already tried the famous Archer shirt, but I truly dislike the absence of darts).<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.deer-and-doe.fr\/fr\/patrons-de-couture\/23-patron-jupe-brume.html\">Brume skirt<\/a>, Deer and Doe. I&#8217;d like to try more structured skirts than my perpetual <a href=\"https:\/\/carlotta.land\/index.php\/2014\/06\/24\/pink-plaid-2-2\/\">gathered skirts<\/a>, but traditional pencil skirt don&#8217;t fit in my lifestyle. I always admired Brume&#8217;s lines, and I have complete faith in Deer and Doe patterns. <br><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blousetterose.com\/produit\/fusain-pantalon-classique\/\">Fusain trousers<\/a>, Blousette Rose. Pretty, simple, pleated trousers, for a dressed up alternative to denim. I love the fact that the fly has buttons: I find it way less scary than a zipper!<br><\/li><li>Lizaig bodysuit, from the book <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laplage.fr\/catalogue\/les-basiques-le-body-de-marie-poisson\/\">le Body de Marie<\/a>. I bought the book since I had read the instrutions were very detailed, and I&#8217;d really like to tackle jersey this year. <\/li><li>Bowling bag, probably using this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.makemylemonade.com\/blog\/diy-bowling-bag\/\">this tutorial<\/a> from Make my Lemonade. Lisa Gachet&#8217;s lemony empire is very inspireing, but I&#8217;ve never sewn anything from her. I really need a sports bag, so this seems like a perfect occasion. <br><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/grainlinestudio.com\/shop\/women\/linden-sweatshirt\/\">Linden sweatshirt<\/a>, Grainline Studio. Another jersey pattern, and a piece of clothing that will fit right into my casual lifestyle. Shoul my tendinitis improve this year, I might try my hand at embroidery. <br><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.deer-and-doe.fr\/fr\/patrons-de-couture\/33-patron-pantalon-safran.html\">Safran jeans<\/a>, Deer and Doe. My challenge. I wear jeans at least 6 days a week, and they&#8217;re the piece of clothing I still buy from fast fashion. These last months several favorites of mine have let me down, and I haven&#8217;t replaced them, hoping it would force me to make mine. Deer and Doe&#8217;s model seems like a very good starting point. <br><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.namedclothing.com\/shop\/kielo-wrap-dress\/\">Kielo wrap dress<\/a>, Named patterns. Yet another jersey pattern (4 out of 9) and an attempt to get out of my comfort zone with this rather unusual pattern that could replace my <a href=\"https:\/\/carlotta.land\/index.php\/2014\/09\/20\/last-days-of-summer\/\">one and only maxi dress<\/a>, which has seen better days. I&#8217;m fairly weary of named patterns, since the two I have attempted were huge on me, but this particular pattern seems very popular.<br><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, this seems to me like a well-rounded list, both regarding what I need and the skills I&#8217;d like to develop. My wish for this sewing year is to complete it and to share my progress on this space. I wish you a beautiful 2019.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This blog began as a (very badly kept) new year resolution.
