Sewing day plans!

This is a bit of an unstructured ramble (‘twas ever thus) about my upcoming sewing day with my bestie, and my project plans. I was trying to find a photo of my Closet Core Morgans and came across this picture, taken by Andrew, of me photographing - if I recall correctly - a caterpillar. I am however wearing the Morgans!All the links are at the end of this post, but my main aim is to finish off the two Bestie bags I have half-finished, plus take up a pair of trousers I recently thrifted. I forgot to mention this in the episode, but I also have a pile of mending I might try to work through, including sewing a chest patch onto a sweatshirt Andrew just downgraded to me. It’s not a colour I would normally wear but in an attempt to use what I’ve got, rather than over-complicating matters by needing to source Dylon at short notice, I’ve decided to sew a patch onto it and see whether I wear it in it’s current colour. I can always remove the patch and dye it in the future.I talk in this episode about a pair of Closet Core Morgan jeans I thought I had cut out…turns out I actually finished them and completely forgot. I put such faith in my smarts that it chills me to realise I’ve blanked on a whole project, but I finished these last summer when I was living with my in-laws. It was a stressful time for many reasons, so it’s not unsurprising that I’ve forgotten about these jeans. They were put aside because the button came off, so that will be a (hopefully) quick and easy repair.These are the Worker Trousers I talk about in this episode, you can see the zipper sag situation in some of the photos in that post. I’m keen to remake these jeans with a shorter rise, which I think might solve this issue. Or potentially combine the Workers and the Morgans. I don’t think I’ll get to this project during our sewing day, but I’m hoping this day will help me get back into the swing of sewing.
