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

I know we're in Feb now, but during my 1st sewing social I managed to almost complete an adorable puffed sleeved cardigan - a free pattern from Unfettered Patterns. It's my 1st make of 2025.

Instead of short sleeves that the pattern called for, I lengthened them. It's so cold in the northern part of New York at the moment.  The fabric, surprisingly, is a super soft knit. It's not really a color I wear but had it in my stash. It was going to be my toile but I love the fabric now it's made up. I'm sure many of you can relate!

Great job! I'm not much of a quilter but admire others who make such beautiful projects.

My first make of 2025 which I've been doing during the Wednesday socials. My partner Allan is delighted with his new shirt as you can see 😀

Thank you so much Hayley! I had a lot of fun during yesterday's sewcial. I think people are getting more comfortable with one another with each additional session they attend. And to have 2 hours of sewing and commeraderie where no one in my house is allowed to ask me for anything is such a treat!

Looks fantastic he is a lucky man.  You can see a lot of love and attention to detail has gone into your make.  The pattern matching is superb.👌

I'm with you on the checks, Val! My husband not ony loves them, he likes to choose patterns that aren't symetrical or the same throughout. So pattern matching is a nightmare. I don't let him pick out his own fabrics anymore, haha. Your partner looks so pleased! Great job.
