Most of these garments have been worn so much and become my staple everyday uniform, especially the Sew Liberated jeans and in the summer the Simplicity shorts. The |Renfrews are slightly too big so I wear them but not as often as the Ottobre tunics which I wear and wash, wear and wash at the moment. So hurray for sewing wardrobe basics.
I have a few vague plans for 2014, but nothing concrete yet. I just want to think about getting more creative, linking sewing to my painting....returning to some form of teaching as I desperately need to earn some money! Oh and finishing off my ufos of course! I have recently bought the Lola pattern and the Paula pleated skirt from Maria Denmark so once the UFOs are done, those two patterns are top of my list.

Last year I learnt the value of looking after my sewing machine, reading the manual and changing the needle. Could I finally be moving away from being a slapdash sewer?
Last year I have learnt that I have lots of ideas but I do not have the time or resources to follow them all
through. Maybe I need to focus more. Hmmmmm...I will get to you about that.
I honestly think you had a brilliant sewing year! You made a lot and wear it all. Who could ask for more, really?! X
ReplyDeleteThank you...the one I rarely wear is the floral tova as it looks like a nightie on me!! xx
DeleteWow, you really made a lot of things! I'm impressed! I struggle with focusing on essential or favorite projects, too-- I always think I have more time than I do, and I don't always prioritize the right projects. It's not easy to do!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise I had made so much to be honest! It just seems to have grown and grown. xxx
DeleteI love all these pairs - especially since so many of them have become wardrobe staples. A real sign of success!
ReplyDeleteMmmh, lots of lovely garments. :) Wardrobe basics that can be worn all the time are my favorites too. That Vogue skirt is an awesome colour, btw! :)
