Here is a roundup of all the things I made in 2019, most are new here as my blogging skills were lacking last year!
Tops:
Dresses:
Skirts:
Trousers:
Coats:
Jumpsuits:
Jumpers/ sweatshirts:
Other things!
35 items.
That's quite a lot...
At the start of the year I had a massive wardrobe clear out and sold or donated loads of hardly worn / didn't fit anymore items so most of these makes fill the gaps in my wardrobe. I have tried my best to use second hand fabric or Organic Cotton fabrics with only a few exceptions.
I have already worn my Lisette coat, that I finished in mid December, 15 times. It fills a huge gap in my wardrobe that I had been putting off filling as I was worried I would make a coat and change shape and it wouldn't fit. I realise now that that is a ridiculous way to think. If it grow or shrink out of this coat I will alter in, and I get the pleasure of wearing something I really need now.
Expect more of me here in 2020, it won't all be sewing but hopefully there will be more than there was this year!
