A Review and Goals for next year

I'm pleased with the sewing I've done this year.  I think I've tried to do a variety of styles and a few old (and new) favourites.

I think my most worn item has been the first Louisa dress I made.  After wrangling with the zipper it fast became a very practical, yet nice looking dress.

Christmas Lily Dress

I have a tendency to only purchase PDF patterns.  I really don't mind the taping together of pages and I can get a new pattern instantly and not have to worry about shipping costs.  But occasionally I do splurge and order some patterns online and I'm glad I did with this one.

A chambray Louisa

Although I did battle with my last version of Compagnie M's Louisa dress it became one of my absolute favourites and with the weather being warmer I felt it was high time for another one.

Starry Charlie Dress

As is the season I have been pretty busy lately so getting some sewing done and photographing the results has been put on the back burner a bit.  But school is done for the year and I'm almost finished the Christmas organisation so here's one of my recent projects at last!

Marina Romper

This was actually the first Marina Romper from Cali Faye I made last year.  It was miles too big at the time and had to be put back in the cupboard.  Luckily it fits now and she's getting a lot of wear out of it.

Another pair of Lunch Box Culottes

 I knew I'd be making many more of these.

Striped Geranium Dress

I think I'm going to call this her Circus dress.

I have a very nasty habit of sewing a number of items until I only have the very last thing to do like attach buttons or sew the hem and then get distracted and leave it on the pile for ages. This is what happened with this dress (and a few more still in the pile).
