#2018 Make Nine Challenge...

...this seemingly simple "just chose nine patterns and make them up in a year" challenge has proven rather difficult for me to accomplish.  Mainly because the patterns I picked at the beginning of the year just no longer hold my interest.  But, I am still determined to finish the Make Nine Challenge!  I've made numerous pattern substitutions (which is allowed according to the rules), with still more changes subject to take place - but hang in here with me if you please.  

Next up is Simplicity 8268 is a new jogger pattern that I decided to substitute for the Hudson Pants on my #2018MakeNine grid.  I decided to switch patterns because I just didn't feel like taping a PDF at the moment, but still wanted to have a pair of jogger pants for comfy at home wear.

This stretch knit gray denim print has sat in my stash for eons pinpointed for joggers. When I decided to make up the Simplicity pattern I had to do a deep stash dive to find it.  I used self fabric instead of tubing to make the cuffs and waistband not wanting to make a trip to Joann's only to find that they didn't have the right color anyway.  I'm satisfied with them and as a matter fact have been wearing them all morning. 

So here's my new Make Nine grid for the moment:

Row 1: Burda 6446. Butterick 4684, Simplicity 8268

Row 2: True Bias Lander Pants, Burda 6428, Vogue 8601

Row 3:  Butterick 6296, Vogue 8859, Butterick 6169

With two and a half months left in the challenge I will persevere, but keep your fingers crossed for me...
