Loose Leaf : What I’m (hopefully) making in 2024

hopefully….

I realized in the last Loose Leaf that I listed today’s Loose Leaf as my “Make Nine” for 2024 but in reflection it was feeling forced. I don’t have exactly nine projects I want to get after this year and felt a bit of pressure for a second to fill those squares (completely self induced).

I’ve spoken to some people in the past about sewing for self especially when you own a sewing pattern business. Or any business for that matter. Most of the time I’m sewing for shoots and I do fit most new styles in my size but even those sometimes aren’t a completely wearable toile and end up in the reclaim bin. If I’m lucky I’ll have the time to sew for myself.

This year I’m trying to make it more of a priority and to carve out that time without feeling burned out. Will I achieve this? We shall see!
