What Abi Makes


Hi pinups! I can't believe we're already over half way through the year, it feels like last week I was planning my varied 2018 Make Nine projects. I thought it was about time I did a 6 month review, to have a look back at what I've made so far and how those projects went, along with what I have left and if I even want to make them at all any more! 

I put everything together in a vlog for you to check out, along with the links to all the sewing pattern reviews I've done for my makes. It wasn't until I went to film this video I realised how much I've actually already completed for my 2018 Make Nine challenge, but I did use my Minerva Craft Blogger Network makes as an excuse to keep me on track with them.

Watch my 2018 Make Nine 6 Month Review:

If you're taking part in this year's challenge, how's yours going? Have you cancelled some of your plans like me, or perhaps you've already completed all nine makes? I must say I'm feeling far more accomplished than I did in 2017!

Thanks for reading, pinups!

Minerva Craft Blogger Network: Sew Over It - 1940s Wrap Dress

Hi pinups! This vintage style Sew Over It pattern has been on my to-sew list for a while so once again I'm using the wonderful Minerva Craft Blogger Network as an excuse/reason to actually make it! I did wonder if the pattern might be a bit formal for me, or look to much like work wear, so I made sure to choose a bold, colourful fabric in hopes to make it a little more stylish and modern.



Sewing Summary:
Pattern: Sew Over It - 1940s Wrap Dress
Fabric: Floral Print Crepe Dress Fabric Multicoloured
Notions: A button and popper at the waist.
Sewing time: Half a day.
Modifications: Nothing at all.
Fit: Surprisingly perfect!
Difficulty: Confident beginners and beyond.
Watch out for: Making sure your fabric doesn't slip about like mine!
Make Again?: Yes!
