Separate from my rather nerdy previous post, on the last day of the year I like to reflect on my favourite posts, one from each month...

A sewing summary...
Number of garments made, counting each set of 1 bra+ 2 undies as one garment: 64, including 9 items for family
Knitted garments: 4 hmmm, it's been a slow year for knitting (blush) However, it was nearly all from stash; the only new yarn I bought was for my Hunter Miette and I think I redeemed myself by knitting it up straight away
re the Stashbusting:
Garments sewn from new fabric: 20
Knitting from stash: 3! out of the 4 things made :)
Garments made from stash fabric: 31
Not exactly drastic reductions in the stash, but it gets me an A+ in my stash-busting pledge ;)
Refashioned garments: 9 Another 3 were rejuvenated with dye
Favourite garments: Faux leather jacket I might not have worn it a tonne yet but I really LOVE it and am rather proud of it :) I also really adore my Panellist dress.
Any fails?: I just haven't worn my bright roses top at all. There's nothing wrong with it and I don't hate it or anything. I just don't reach for it *shrug*
The biggest thing for me this year was doing a screen-printing course; I LOVED it, and have printed eight pieces of fabric; seven of which have been sewn into garments already. My favourite self-printed project is a toss-up between my poppies lingerie set and the beach-y polka dot dress.
So that's it for another year! Thank you so much to everyone who reads my blog and takes the time to comment, I am so very grateful and appreciative of all you gorgeous sewing- and fashion-loving peeps. We who sew tend to do so on our own, so the big ol' fantabulous internets has been pretty good for our socialising, yes? ;)
See y'all in 2014!
