Christmas Cardinals


Although I am not making any formal New Year's resolutions, I am going to try to keep up with this blog a bit more in the coming year.


To that end, here is one final finished project from 2018.


It's the Christmas dress that I was convinced would not be finished in time!  But I managed it just in the nick of time!


There are quite a few more projects out there, pictures to be gone through, and posts to write.  But a project never really feels truly complete until I post it to the blog.  Silly, yes, but it's just the way it is.


And as far as new projects go, I have so many ideas.


I am going to do my best to get to a few WIPs that have been languishing in boxes for far too long.


And before Spring arrives, I am determined to use one of my lengths of wool coating.


Which color wool and which pattern shall it be . . .


I haven't a clue at this point.  But I am excited to jump in and get started!  


Have a Happy New Year, and, as always, Happy Sewing!!



Dress & Belt:  Made by me, Simplicity 1459
