Well I hope you have all had a good Christmas, and now we are fast approaching the New Year. When I look back over the year at my blog , Ive had some creative hits and misses. its interesting to see what has become part of my everyday wardrobe and whats got buried to the bottom of my drawers. So here is recap at what has worked and what didnt for 2013
 |
| MAY Still havent altered this dress yet. Feel like a granny in this one. |
 |
MARCH I wear this dress on hot days, when Im pottering around, not for anywhere special. Its so cool being 100% cotton. I wouldn't make this pattern again though, the little cardi has hardly been worn also. |
 |
| Its funny, I love white especially in the summer and when I started making this top I was convinced I would get loads of wear from it, but I have only worn this blouse once. Its not that I dont like its just the cotton is quite firm, (it was a sheet I used) its hard to wear anything over it. I think the answer is to shorten the sleeves, to make it more wearable. |
 |
| Such an intricate pattern but Ive had such a lot of wear from this dress, will make this again. |
 |
| JULY Quilt for my daughter she loves this and its getting lots of use, which makes it all worthwhile |
 |
| AUGUST I love this skirt, fabric does all the work so just a simple straight skirt pattern. Cant wait to wear it again. |
  |
| SEPTEMBER These tops are so easy to wear and go with such a lot of things in my wardrobe |
 |
| DECEMBER Christmas socks. The Family love them (wish I could knit quicker, started making them in May) |
| 3 pairs of hand knitted socks 1 bag and 1 Bag liner 1 hat 1 pair of men's trousers 2 tops 1 blouse 3 skirts 3 dresses 1 patchwork quilt. And one wadder that I wont mention.
Ive double checked, but I could have sworn Ive made more, but I havent. I was incapacitated after my spell in hospital, but that was only a short while. Looking at the list, I would like to make more in 2014.
Im pleased to say I like and wear most of the things Ive made, which is alot better than making loads of things and only wearing a few. How about you, have you had a good creative year?  |
Nice selection. I like a lot of your misses though - but I guess you need to be comfortable wearing them.
ReplyDeleteSo true, I have observed 2 of the misses are flowery patterns, I wonder if its the fabric choice that I dont feel happy about,
DeleteHappy New Year! I love all your makes for the year and it was interesting to see what you ended up really liking. I'm going to. Try much harder this year to make more of my own clothes.
