Hi Sarah. Make 9 never worked for me either ☹️. I’m starting my sewing plans by doing a good clear out, organize and inventory. I don’t have a big stash per se but have a lot of “bits and pieces “ that I’ve been hanging on to. I will donate them to a good home. I trust that this will clear my creative block and have me plan some pretty spring clothes.
Happy new year. My sewing thoughts are similar to yours this year. I feel like I have done the frenzy sew thing and now I want to slow down and be more thoughtful about what I buy fabric and pattern wise and what I make. I’m hoping to have my head turned less by all the shiny new things. 😂
Happy New Year Sarah, I would like to make an Ilford jacket this year, I’m just in the process of looking for fabric. I don’t have a fabric stash, I only own about 10 fabrics as I think I’d get overwhelmed by choice if I had a stash. ❤❤
Great vlog Sarah - love your plans and I’m like you , have too much fabric and want to sew everything with not a lot of thought in “ will I wear it”. Been sewing for nearly 2 years now but realise I have to now think about what I need in my wardrobe. Happy new year and continue to make great honest vlogs xx
Absolutely agree with trying to keep on top of things - whenever I go on holidays I get sick😒 And some of our family holidays have been the best. Cheap too. I think a plan to not buy fabric till march is doable - unless they are an absolute must have - like the d&g fabrics. These are one offs and they look so beautiful on you. Enjoy your new year resolutions - I look forward to seeing your makes. My resolutions are to print out and use many more of the pdf patterns! Yikes I have so many and haven't used them. plus I have maybe a couple of hundred paper patterns. Oops
Hi Sarah! Happy New Year I'm doing make 9 for the first time this year but I'm not going to stress over it if I get to what I make, then great, but if I don't it's still all good! You have very reasonable expectations! See you on the next video! I have one coming out on the 3rd!
Your plans sound good, and personalised to you. I’ve found that tying myself down to make 9 etc isn’t helpful. I’d like to make at least a couple of coats and jackets. I’d like to reduce my stash. I’m aiming to only buy 25% of the meterage I use or destash. And yes just sew what I want to sew. I’ve had a go at swimwear but would rather buy it! All the best for 2025 and your plans
I’m trying to adopt a ‘3 out,1 in’ approach to fabric consumption and buying (i.e. make-up/use 3 pieces of fabric before I can buy 1) in order to reduce my stash to a more manageable level. I also want to learn 2 or 3 new skills/techniques in my sewing projects this year. Other than that, no specific goals as I just won’t stick to them!
Happy new year lovely Sarah. I am reluctantly attempting a fabric diet this year. But getting excited about drawing from my stash and finding the courage to actually cut into some of my favorite fabrics. 😊
Happy new year. I don’t tend to make specific resolutions as they immediately get broken, however, as my partner and I are now retired we have very little spare cash. With this in mind anything I make will need to coordinate with existing clothing. Not sure how that will work but nothing ventured etc.
Best wishes with your resolve to hold off on fabric shopping. 🎉

Happy new year Sarah (and Nate). I like to use small businesses to otherwise we will lose the lovely variety we get.❤
