Nice to be here! In January, I'm mainly going to be sewing a pair of shorts for my partner. They're the second set from a pattern that I traced from a cheap pair of shorts that he bought, which were a great shape, but wore out very quickly. The first pair I made are still going a couple of years later, in a medium-weight, slightly-stretch denim, but he's got bigger around the thighs since (mad-keen cyclist), so I'm adding a little extra fabric there in this version.

I'm also thinking of making him a flat cap, in hi-vis yellow and black waterproof nylon, as somewhat of an in-joke, but one he can still use to keep his head dry, innit. This would also be a test run for this pattern I've bought from (Waves & Wild - I've already used and been pleased by several of their patterns so I'm expecting it'll be fine, but I think this'll take more than one go to get right, especially to make something in a quality wool, which is what I'd really like to make him in future.

(I actually sew mostly for myself, but not this month, it seems.)
