  6. I'm in! I'm a self taught beginner so there's A LOT I haven't done. But I do have a pillow case to finish for my youngest son so that will definitely be done. I have a couple of different other things I'd like to get done too. I'm gonna set my goal to get at least two projects completed.

  7. I am in. My goal is to succeed at fitting the bodice and sleeve of Vogue 1212, which I am determined to turn into a coat that will fit me. This is not easy, I have already made four mockups of the bodice, and it still isn't right, but getting closer. I have wanted and needed a new coat/raincoat for years, and what stops me is not having a pattern that fits well enough to function.

  12. I wasn't sewing last time you did this but I read about it in the archives and I'm really glad you decided to make it an annual thing. I'm going to be sewing with fabrics I've never used before because I have all kinds of weird things in my stash and don't have the budget to buy more than the occasional zipper.

  13. I'm in! I let a lot of crap (and my own fears) get in the way last year when I wanted to participate. This year, I'm kicking it all to the curb!

  14. Me, I am in. Need this challenge to make me focus. Will start planning.

  15. Victoria, I am in. I am going to attempt to sew a Marfy pattern. These patterns are known to be quite difficult because there aren't any instructions, and the seam allowance is not included. I often sew Burda patterns from the actual magazine. You have to trace your color coded pattern size, add 5/8 seam allowances and read instructions without picture illustrations. I figured that since I have conquered my fear of sewing Burda patterns, that Marfy would definitely be worth giving a try.

  16. this is a good challenge, I'm in the mist of challenging myself to lining a jacket at the moment, with the help of a friend of course lol!

  17. I am in. I have been unable to thing about much else since reading this post. I just conquered buttons, on the sewing machine!

  18. I am in. I do not have a blog but I will definitely be challenging myself personally to accomplish something I have never tried.

  19. I am in. I've been in a sewing rut lately so this is just what the dr ordered. I am going to try my hand at a few blazer. First, some easy ones and then more classic ones. I am always cold, so these will be a good addition to my wardrobe.

  21. I am in. Maybe this will help me get sewing.

  22. Woot! Count me in! I have a few ideas of stepping outside my comfort zone that I was planning on tackling anyway - this is the perfect motivation to move forward with them!

  23. Count me in too! Last yearI found out too late to do it, so 2014 is a long-awaited consolation :) My fearless plan is very simple: sew one project in February. This will be a big step back into sewing because I have hardly sewn at all since DD was born in 2010...!

  24. I'm in too! Not sure what it'll be, maybe pants. I've never sewn pants so that'll be a challenge for sure.

  25. I'm in. I have jeans to make, and they scare me. But I've got the rub-off pattern from beloved jeans, and I'm 2 1/2 pairs in to perfecting the fit.

  26. I'm in...I've been putting off making my husband a smoking jacket for over a year! It's all brocades and silky fabrics and I'll have to alter the pattern a bit for his size.

  27. Ok. I'm now ready to join in. I'll be making cargo pants (Silhouette patterns). I think I have my adjustments sorted, fabric chosen and cargo hardware:))
