Have you got your first project of 2025 cut out and ready to sew? Or are you planning what it will be?

My daughter is here until 5th January, relieving me of puppy duties ( he is living with us temporarily and rather unexpectedly). My aim is to sew as much as I possibly can from Saturday until then.
Hoping to start with a Nepheline blouse.

I've got The Makers Atilier lounge shirt cut out ready to go in the lovely black lawn fabric with white and beige dots that was in the luxury box a couple of months ago. luckily it's a really baggy design because I stupidly didn't check the sizing, and I'm a size 24, they go up to 22, but it's a flippin small size 22 at that!
so many indie designers have a great size range now that I got complacent.

I have 2 drews cut out ready to go. One is a dress hack with the burgundy waves loop back french terry from November's box.
I have another 2 or 3 to cut out too.
I have just traced the lahja dressing gown pattern for the fabric godmother satin and the cloud jersey from previous boxes.
I'm halfway through tracing the Nell dress pattern. I'm going to use the black dobby that I bought from the outlet shop for the dress or blouse.

I have bought and washed the material for both of these dresses. These will be made ASAP. Perfect summer dresses.

I will be finishing an off the shoulder velvet dress for my son's girlfriend. Then I think I will be attempting to make a shirt/blouse for my mother in law....no pressure!

These are a great choice & a good size range. I made a similar pattern to the Butterick, but a version McCall's. The front bodice & neckline on the butterick would have been so much better...

I have a quilt to sort out- I've already sewed it up, but the binding didn't catch properly in the odd place, so it 'failed' the test wash because the batting is peeking through at certain points. As a result, I need to fix this before sending it to the intended recipient!
Hope everyone is enjoying their New Year so far.
