A Year in Review

It has been fun to read others post their sewing year in review. So here is a picture collage of my winners (click on it to see it larger)










Now the losers of 2008

Simplicity 2892, love it on the dressform, can't move my arms when I am wearing it. The sleeves are gathered and lined with the fabric. I believe I constructed it incorrectly. Good news I made the sleeveless version and love it.








This Christine Jonson tie back top. I just can't get past how the ties wrap right under the boobs!








Simplicity Project Runway jacket, it looks like I am wearing something of the twins!



Finally, the winners in the purse category, since I do alot of that type of sewing.
Amy Butler's Weekender bag and Sophia bag



There were a couple of other losers but it is late and I think I will focus on the positive.

My resolution (I posted it on a sewing email list) was to enjoy the sewing process more and not rush through projects. I do believe this was achieved. I really took my time on my garments (for the most part) and enjoyed creating garments.

  1. Starting my day here and seeing your great achievements. I like all of them, and the jackets especially. And your bags inspire me to keep thinking I'll try them next year.

  2. You've got an impressive group of winners. I think the bags are my favorites! I've made many tote bags, but nothing as stylish as your bags.

  6. Your winners are truly winners. Super job, you have been very productive this year!
    As far as your losers.. I think the jacket pattern was nominated for Best Pattern over on Pattern Review?... I did not vote for it- for precisely the reason you stated ;)
