sewing goals for what's left of the year

[camwyn]

Get to a point where I can take a selfie and honestly say that I made everything I am wearing in it, with the exception of my eyeglasses and socks. And not be embarrassed by the look of the stuff I've made. I just finished a really respectable pair of cargo shorts two days ago, although I'm not sure the fit in front works properly without something being in my pockets (I graded the pattern between two sizes and I'm not sure I did that part right). If I have to do this by making a pair of athletic tights/leggings that go with a proper t-shirt over self-made underthings, then that's what I'll do, and get woven pants to work properly after that.


(I can knit well enough to make an acceptable pair of socks, but working with sock weight yarn and appropriately sized needles takes so freaking long.)

ETA: Unsure whether to take this hypothetical picture shoeless, follow up on that Instagram ad for a company that'll send you soles and pattern pieces to use with the appropriate fabric of your choice, or learn to make moccasins while I'm at it.

My grandmother made me a crocheted sweater and I remember being torn and too embarrassed to wear it in front of my friends. Now that I'm old, I wouldn't care what others thought but now that is water under the bridge. She did teach my to crochet a chain and I thought that was fun, but I've long forgotten how.
