My Make Nine Sewing Plans for 2024! #makenine

Ok so a LOT of research and thought has gone into my first ever Make Nine sewing plans. I am looking to make more of a statement with my outfits and hopefully enhance my skills at the same time. I want to incorporate several different crafts within these projects such as sewing, crochet and embroidery. Here’s hoping there is enough time in the year!

I have created some mood boards for each of my categories. They give inspiration and ideas on what sort of thing I am hoping to make. Then, I have selected a sewing pattern that I think is going to work best to achieve that goal. Take a look at the sewing pattern ideas I have gathered and see what you think.

I may not do each of the Make Nine Sewing Plans in order, but I think I might need to buy a journal to keep track of my projects and ideas. If you have any suggestions or recommendations for such a sewing journal then please do let me know in the comments below.

If you’d like to see me chat my way through the #makenine sewing plans then you will find the full video on my YouTube channel. I would love it if you could keep me accountable over the year so do please check back often and give me a little nudge!!!!
