2016 Sewing and Crafting Year in Review

2016 was a very unordinary sewing year for me.  I literally only had one month where I wasnt pregnant or had a newborn!  So not much sewing for me got done.  I did, however, find a way to sneak in some projects.  Many aren’t finished yet!

in 2016 I made..,

I altered my Curtain Along dress to work for maternity.

Being a bad blogger, I’m on my cell phone trying to type with one hand with a baby on my arm.  The rest of the photos will have to suffice as enough evidence I made or started projects this year!

Here’s hoping I can be even half as productive in 2017!

Happy sewing!

    What a superb selection of garments! I love how you tackle such a range of eras, and everything from dresses to knitting, to embroidery and hats. Very inspirational, and it must be hard having time to do it with a baby.

    You are amazing. I sewed nothing during my baby mommy years!

    That bloomer suit, oh! I truly hope that is something you are planning on releasing as a pattern!

    So much stuff! I’m really impressed. My kids are no longer babies, and I can get no where near as much done. Hoping 2017 will be a great sewing year for all of us!

    Ok, so while I loved all of your fabulous costuming offerings, especially the Regency items, I am so in love with all the baby items you made! How utterly delightful!!!! I think you may have had a little too much fun making them?
    Blessings!

    I love seeing all the work you’ve done! I’m a slow seamstress (sew-er? Sewer looks like a waste disposal solution) and to me the amount and variety of work is inspiring! Makes me want to learn how to knit or crochet. Those hats are great too!

    You definitely have the best dressed baby! She has really beautiful eyes. Those knitted sweaters and booties are too cute to be real.

    Wish you the best 2017!
