So, what's ahead for 2018? I've alread joined the Goodbye Valentino RTW challenge. No, that just wasn't enough, was it? I've also joined the Curvy Sewing Collective, Curvy Year of Sewing. It didn't end there, I also have been pattern testing.
Even though this is a public challenge, it is also a personal one. As I have a lot of experience, I am not looking at easy sewing, I want to push my boundaries, try different pattern companies, and try to sew some things that I've always said, "I'd like to try ...."
Jan/Feb - while pattern testing for Sinclair Patterns, I came across another sewer (who I think was pattern testing for another company) who was wearing Winter Wear Designs - Real Deal Jeans. Since her body type was curvy, I've decided that this will be what I will sew first. Not that they are difficult to do, just that I haven't tried this company before, I like the look of the pattern, but I probably, normally would steer away from pants because of my tummy region.
I have made them up as shorts and as full length jeans (oops, I missed the first deadline as I got caught up in pattern testing and the weather has been so hot here that I haven't quite done as much sewing as I would like. Oh well, I'II get on board for March/April, in the meantime, here are my jeans and shorts for Jan/Feb:
I found this pattern successful on a number of fronts:
- After botched surgery and eventually having a double hernia operation as a result of this I find that my tummy hangs so I steer away from wearing any form of pants, so now I have moved towards wearing pants.
- I have problem solved how to successfully use top stitching thread without it breaking or pulling on the fabric. I have conquered my fear of this.
- I continue to try and challenge myself and improve my skills.
- I have altered the width of the pants leg as, although me tummy is big, I am fortunate to have toned legs. On godsend at least.
Anyhow, hope all is well in your sewing world.
Happy sewing.
Sandra
