2014, A Year in Review


Spadea 1251 / Gala Gown 2014 / Sirdar 1741 & Vogue 1296

As the year comes to an end, I wanted to look back at my creative output for the year.  It has been a busy one!

Lolita Patterns "Spearmint" / Vogue 4203 / By Hand London "Georgia"

The sewing community (both online and in person) has been incredibly inspiring, and for that, I will be eternally grateful.

Simplicity 1426 & Butterick 4792 / By Hand London "Georgia" / By Hand London "Anna"

I did not accomplish everything I hoped to (that never manages to happen . . . ), but for goodness sake, this hobby of mine took me all the way to New York City!

Colette "Parfait" & Capelet / By Hand London "Anna" & Beaded Collar / Simplicity 1587

I hope the next year brings even more fabulous adventures.

Thank you for reading along, and for all of the amazing encouragement.

    WOW! You are nothing short of amazing! Thank you continuously sharing creations with us throughout 2014. You continue to be such a source of inspiration with your skills and determination, as I am a person who struggles with sewing still!

    Wow! I've looked at some other vintage sewing web sites and you carry off the look better than any others I've seen. You don't overdo the makeup and you look lovely and natural. The dresses you have made are just beautiful and very flattering on you. It must be so much fun to be able to sew these lovely fashions and then to wear them and look beautiful in them on top of it! Happy New Year!
