Make Nine 2021

After listening to the Sew and Tell podcast today I was inspired to create my Make Nine 2021 list. It is a year-long challenge that has been going for a few years. I’ve been going a bit mad with the shopping on Spotlight online. So I thought that it would be great to do a bit of planning. I’m in search of the perfect shirt and the perfect pair of pants pattern. This has meant a huge amount of pattern shopping especially with the specials that we had around Christmas 4 for $20.
