Lots of ideas for 2022. Some of these will happen, and depending what life throws at us, new opportunities could queue jump. Every year I aspire to complete items from the queue, polish my techniques, improve my fitting, and learn lots of new things. These are not SMART goals, but saying them out loud helps me choose projects that will take me in the right direction.
In no particular order.
Service sewing machine - the engineer suggests March.
Using up, adapting or finishing off:
Small amounts of yarn/handbag size projects. I don't think there are many leftovers that go together, either in weight or colour, so it'll have to be small items. Maybe see what the Community Centre can donate to the the Foodbank recipients - small hats and gloves, squares for blankets, small scarves, toddler cardis?
Refit green boxy jacket - will a cowl improve it?
Finish summer handbag from last year's course.
Grey workwear zipped top sleeves - cut off frayed bit above thumbholes, elasticate at my arm length, and use scraps to increase hip circumference.
Revisit the fitting shell project. There are still some sheeting scraps, and some inherited floral polyester lengths unlikely to find a home.
Wardrobe holes:
More long sleeved t-shirts. Probably bigger Freyas (Tilly and the Buttons book) or Tulip Tees (Patterns for Pirates)
Formal-ish dress to replace double jersey Freya (now too small)
Another pair less informal trousers. There are some nice inherited suiting lengths waiting. And a nice shirt length that goes with the linen.
A denim skirt or pinafore - the fabric piece is not quite long enough for jeans.
More cycling shorts as undertrousers, maybe wear them under the denim skirt.
Pattern test and make up the mouse quilting fabric waistcoat.
More masks. There might also be ear savers, knitted to convert our few purchased masks to a ties. That way they'll sit round my neck between shops.
Knit a second jumper from the much altered Talvi knits Moss Green Sweater pattern. Enter all my notes onto the pattern first, maybe chart it out.
Replace at least one pair of tired joggers.
Possible gifts:
Waistcoat for DD, for next winter.
And quirky fun things:
Even better fitted legwarmers/footless socks , especially if they'll bring the denim skirt into use in colder weather.
