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..,
18th century stays
A wool regency dress
A 1930s sporty dress
A red 1790s silk dress (suitable for maternity)
I altered my Curtain Along dress to work for maternity.
I made an entire 1930s baby layette as a pattern sample.
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!

Blessings!

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!
