With some of my larger crafty swaps coming to a close, I’m now able to focus in on some ‘holiday sewing’. I sat down last night and made a list of all the things I wanted to make and realized it was HUGE. While I’m sure I won’t be able to make everything, I’m sure going to try. Here’s my list at the moment:
- Jalie 2805 in a white burnout fabric that I recently purchased. If it wasn’t for the fact that I currently have black thread in my serger, I might have already made this one already.
- Hot Patterns’s Classix Nouveau Dressy Jean . If I get really ambitious, I’d love to make Jalie’s Stretch Jeans and compare the two.
- Amy Butler’s Blossom Bag – I think I realize that this is one of those ‘long weekend’ projects and have procrastinated working on this one because I just haven’t had the time to devote to it. Also on my list is her new pattern, Reversible Sunday Sling Bag.
- Jayhawk Tommy Boxers – I already have the lettering on all 3 shorts complete…..
- A hoodie for Taylor. I have yet to decide on a pattern or style, but would love to have one (or two) to place under the tree….. I even have fabric ready to go for this one.
- Melly & Me’s Rudy – This pattern looks incredibly simple to construct although I need to buy the fabrics for this one. I’ll definitely be making two before Christmas.
- Miscellaneous Christmas\Birthday gifts – While I’m not making a lot of gifts this year, I do plan on making a few aprons and a Happy Stacker Ring toy.
Now the real question is, what do I start first?

Seen on a bumper sticker this weekend: “I am not a nag, I’m a motivational speaker!” In that vein, I’m going to ask (in a sweet voice)… oh Stacy? What about making up that pdf pattern for the apron with the flounce? : )
That is one long list of things to make! Hope you can make good progress!
