I think that 2022 was the year that I sewed the most, but as I don't keep detailed stats its hard to prove that!
I blogged nearly everything and did a few side bar links so we can get a reasonably good idea.
My theme in 2022 was using what I already had and I mostly stuck with it.
January
I started out by finishing a Christmas project which didn't quite make it in time, it was admired this Christmas though. Its a cushion cover, but is based on https://jordanfabrics.com/pages/christmas-tree-wall-hanging
I then went on to sew a mini capsule in Chocolate and Rose
Then two rag dolls, one for me (a UFO from 2007) and another for a friend.
I then went back to garment sewing - A pink top with contrast bands
A red top and dress
In February I had great fun making a multi fabric shirt, which has been worn quite a lot
The dress was my version of one I helped a friend to sew for herself, so probably not really my style.
And the shrug was an attempt to make a coverup as I didn't like it sleeveless.
In March I bought a new pattern, the Itch to Stitch Mountain View jeans. I made multiple versions tweaking the fit and the resulting blue jeans have been my most worn garment this year, they look better on me than flat like this.
I donated all my old RTW jeans (which I didn't wear because they were not very comfortable). A real success!
I also made some tan stretch woven shorts
April
April was dedicated to undies and nightwear
In May I upcycled some shirts by replacing the too tight/too short sleeves with new contrast ones.
The last one was my favourite, the embroidered sleeves just make it sing.
I then worked on a dress for Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee
June
In June I made myself some camo joggers and top - a quick project!
I also reworked some old me made jeans which I didn't blog
There's so much more I think we'll need another post, so I'll be back in a bit!
