Looking back at my sewing output for the year, I am pleased with what I accomplished.

I have felt rather unproductive as of late, but this collection of garments is rather substantial.

It is also clear that I like to play dress up.  As in, my style is all over the place.

For the last couple of weeks I have been thinking that I should try to pin down my look.  Then again, limiting myself doesn't seem like very much fun.  And whatever would that look be?  For the time being, I guess I will stick with whatever suits my fancy in the moment.

  2. Everything screams, "I'm from a boutique or trunk sale". Congratulations on creating another enviable "collection" - your determination and efforts are inspirational.

    Hope to see you revisit The New Look, make a swingin' trapeze dress, and revisit pants (palazzo please). Never mind mixing silk illusion with velvet in some "corner booth at the supper club" room stopping look.

    Anticipating your 2016 journey.

    Oh, and do you now have rolling racks in your bedroom and sleep in the closet? (That's the scuttle among the wagging tongue set.)

  9. Although you draw inspiration from different decades, in my opinion, you do have a defined style. I would call it classic, feminine, elegant, and vintage inspired. I enjoy your posts very much, and am so happy you will be sharing more beautiful handmade clothing and lovely pics this year!
