One of the things I wanted to achieve in 2016 was to make more clothes. I’ve been doing lots of sewing as I’ve made felt project bags, but it’s been a while since I sewed anything that could be worn.

My fabric stash has reached the point that I suspect I could pass it off as a collection of some importance. Or the collection of someone who keeps forgetting that she already owns quite a bit of charcoal jersey and doesn’t really need another 3 meters of the stuff.

So a couple of weekends ago I found a pattern that I loved.

Vogue 9162

The shirt is the closest thing I’ve found to a bought one that I’ve pretty much worn to death.

The pieces are all cut out.

The markings are all transferred.

So now all I need to do is sew it all together.

But it’s progress.
