I, Nick, pledge to start, and finish lol, the Franconia dress I cut out ages ago.

I, Lucy, pledge to finish the Heather blazer. 

I started this project as part of the Sew Confident CCC course but I really hate the linen fabric they supplied. It's really stretchy which I wasn't expecting for a linen. But I'm more experienced now so hopefully i can pick it back up again 💪

"I Hayley pledge to finish my Saskia cardigan and Tina skirt project.   I also pledge to attempt to finish my laptop bag - it's a bit of a fight under my machine as it's getting really bulky now.  Fingers crossed 🤞 

I, Vicki, pledge to work on my Thea trousers and get further than just tracing out the pattern! 

I've picked up the pattern and fabric so many times to work on it and then put it down again out of fear, but I'm going to take the plunge. I'm (foolishly?) not going to toile.....

I'm going straight for what will hopefully be a wearable toile, but before I cut out the fabric will compare the curve of the front and back pieces to the Flint trousers which I know fit me well! 

I, Lesley, pledge to finish my Taylor trousers by Blackbird fabrics.
I promised myself I would hand stitch the hems, but because of this I've just put them to one side, but they deserve an invisible hem.

"I Tamlyn pledge to finish one project plus potentially a second if time allows!"

I will FINALLY finish my Closet Core Jenna Shirt - which means to make bias binding with my scraps, bind the hem, then do button holes and sew up the buttons (Which could be a ncie activity for the WIP and Sip evening!

I also have a matching Bestie Bag in progress, so it would be a bonus if I finished that too, or at least make a bit more progress on it

I have a drew sweatshirt that I started. Then decided I did not like the colour ribbing I was going to use, kept forgetting to add ribbing to an order. Ordered it last week to finish for the challenge this week. It is due tomorrow. I also have a pair of joggers cut but waiting for said ribbing before I sew it up. Plus I need to cut the fabric for my first bestie bag. Pattern was printed and cut ready two weeks ago. 

I will start & hopefully finish my white Petina blouse that's been in its project bag too long. If time allows & my sciatica isn't too bad I've a skirt that needs stitching up too. 

I Debbie pledge to finish my Pinny lady project and if I get time I'd like to make the TATB Cleo that has been cut out but not started yet.

I Sarah pledge to finish my Marnie dress that I started 2 weeks ago.

"I Jenny pledge to finish one project and make a start on another"

I have an oversized tee by Ellie and Mac cut out and also a Rosco blouse by True Bias that I hope to make good progress on. X

I promise to finish a pair of trousers I have that I have not enjoyed making omg I have done it now 😁

I, Karen, pledge to do the button holes and buttons on my sew over it blouse. It means that I have to make sure that the pattern matches. Then I will finish the hem of my walkaway dress. 

I, Laura, pledge to work on my Solstice top (Lise Tailor) pattern. I need to finish cutting out all the pieces and hopefully start some assembling! 

I've got a pair of Pietra shorts which need hemming and a pair of Ploen Pattern trousers to put in the elastic and hem! and a pair of cargo pants to hem.......as you can no doubt guess, I hate hemming!  But I pledge to get all three done!

Thanks for today's virtual party. Really enjoyed your interview with the Northern Sewl Sisters. Sorry I had to leave early to pick up a friend. I finished both my wips so am happy about that. Fun challenge.

I, Linda, pledge to finish my M&M Saturday Coat (which seems to have taken 15 years to make so far!!!) at tomorrow's Sew Social.  Now there's a big statement!!!
