The projects included in this post are only the ones that have pictures of the finished product posted during the calendar year, so there are quite a few other sewing, knitting, and craft projects that were started in 2018. That's not a whole lot of finished projects, but it's not too shabby, either. And I really love each and every one of these garments, so that it definitely a win!

And best of all, I managed four different projects for my new home! I am on the lookout for the perfect drapery fabric for my downstairs windows (I see birds and florals in a lavender and sage palette on a cream background - anyone know where I can find some?!?). Although, I have heard stories about just how boring it is to make window treatments . . . still, if the perfect textile shows up for a reasonable price, I am going to have to make my own.

But most importantly, thank you for joining me on this creative journey for yet another year!
Wow! I love your projects, especially the blue coat. Keep sewing and posting!
ReplyDeleteI also find home decor sewing very boring compared to fashion sewing. But, holy cow, does it save you money! The drapes I wanted for my living room would have cost me about $800 to have a shop make them. I found similar fabrics and fixtures and made my own over the course of two weekends for $200. Just look at it the same as fashion sewing - you'll get a unique piece, perfectly customized to your own home, in fabrics and colors that you love. Go for it!
ReplyDeleteYou have completed some amazing projects during the past year. I wish I was as talented as you!
ReplyDeleteso many pretty items and I just love that red/white zigzag print dress.
ReplyDeleteI so look forward to your posts. Beautiful makes and fantastic instruction and insights. Thank you for posting!
ReplyDeleteOn the look-out for your curtain fabric. Have to say, your coat sewing was particularly captivating; looking forward to your next project.
ReplyDeleteAs always, thank you for hosting your journeys into the creative, traveling, your Internet antics, and now, your creation of a home.
Wow! What a productive year you had! I can't wait to see what you come up with for 2019.
