Sewing Challenges to Participate In

Picture
The new year is here and in full swing! Do you want to do some selfish sewing after making gifts for the months leading up to the holidays? Yes? Same here. I want to make a few things for me, nobody else. Never feel guilty about sewing for yourself. It's YOUR hobby and YOUR time. ;)

I got to thinking about all the things I planned on making last year that never happen. :/ This year, I want to have a plan of attack! I decided to make a deadline to kick my rear into gear. Joining a sewing challenge or 2, or 3 will help with this. Fingers crossed!

There are tons of great sewing challenges happening every year. You may have heard of some, and some might be completely new to you (me, too). 

I've linked a few below:


  • Sew the Precious- it's a challenge on Instagram hosted by The Sewcialists. You are supposed to make something with that precious fabric you are scared to cut into. Sounds fun, right? Count me in! I signed up, you should to.  :) Be sure to use #sewtheprecious when you post your pic.
  • Next up is the Make Nine challenge hosted by Rochelle over at Home Row Fiber. You plan on 9 items to make for the year. This is right up my alley because I know I need to make a new purse. As I'm typing this up this post, I'm planning my makes for this year. Again, use the hashtag #makenine2020 on Instagram. 
  • Me Made May- I have a post about doing this last year. It's hosted by Zoe at So, Zo..what do you know? You wear something everyday that was made by you/me. I usually .wear something I've made everyday of the year. So, this wasn't as challenging, although I did learn a few things from it. But, you'll have to wait for that post  as we get closer to May. ;) This can be as simple as a pair of earrings you made to a formal dress. 
  • There's a #sewover50 challenge on Instagram. Go follow Judith @sewover50 for more info. Sounds fun!
  • #dresslikeyourgrandma challenge. I've just recently heard of this and it sounds fabulous! I love vintage style and clothes, so I'll have to check this one out. 
  • There's also a #sewyourstash challenge. It's where you only sew things from your fabric stash. You're not allowed to buy new fabric. I have been doing this one, sorta. I have tons of fabric and honestly don't need to buy anymore until I sew through my own stash!
  • #memadeeverday is just what it says. You post pics on Instagram of what you made and are wearing, everyday. It's a take on Me Made May but a yearlong challenge. I like this one because it is easy and doesn't take much thought. 
  • #Sewfrosting is another challenge. You make something that is positively fabulous just for you. It's supposed to be more fun than utilitarian. This is right up my alley!



Are you going to partake in any of these challenges? I know there are quite a few that I didn't list. If you know of any, share in the comments below. I'm doing the make 9 and #sewtheprecious. I think these will be fun and a good challenge for me. 

Happy Sewing!

    Hi there, I'm Annette and I love eating and sewing. I usually have a cup of coffee or tea with me, but not next to my machine because I'd probably spill it. I am the reason we can't have nice things.
