You can look in the sidebar for some of the items I've made in 2017.
2018
6PACs
No particular contests in mind at the moment though I probably will do regular seasonal collections along the line of the 6PAC (/https://ejvc.wordpress.com/2009/04/22/seasonal-sewing-collections/).
I like to pick a colour and sew several garments before chnaging to a new colour way and this works well with 6PAC sewing.
Although I have planned a SWAP, I find the timeframe too long, so will probably do two smaller seasonal collections instead.
Linings
I want to make a simple lined coat from this Prima magazine pattern.
Trousers
In 2018 I want to have another go at trousers, using various patterns and what I have learned in the last year about my crotch curve shape.
Cardigan jacket
Develop a generic cardigan jacket pattern with dropped shoulders and band collar which I can sew both for myself and for charity. A one-size-works-for-many approach is what I have in mind.
RTW fast
The only challenge I've signed up for is the RTW fast, so I will not be buying any new clothes in 2018. However I can sew new items as well as wear the things i already have in the wardrobe.
Using existing supplies
I will try as much as possible to sew from the resources centre (aka the stash). I'll also try to use my leather scraps, beads, card blanks etc. as much as I can
Charity items
I am going to continue to sew and make items for the various charity craft sales. This also uses existing resources as much as possible, so I will be making more bags (as they've all gone) as well as some new things like wrapping paper storage bags and garden kneeler pads. I've also applied to a scheme which sews hospital PJs for sick kids but I've not heard yet if they want me. I might revisit candle making and try my hand at soap making.
Declutter and organise
Once again I'm going to make a concerted effort to declutter and oranise my sewing and craft supplies. I would love to find a meaningful place to donate things but don't really have anything at the moment.
What have you got planned for 2018?

I found just making a concerted effort to use existing supplies, a great held in dealing the clutter. I do have a place I can donate unwanted craft supplies, but it is too far for you to consider. Good luck with your goals! I think you're being perfectly reasonable.
hi I really like the feb 2015 Coat pattern not sure how I can obtain the pattern from an old prima issue ?
Hi I would like to find a copy of the feb 2015 coat prima pattern. How could I find one as I really would like to make the coat thanks
Sewing scene these are only available on eBay or similar as Prima do not sell their patterns online as per patterns.
Thanks I did find one on eBay!
