1. Vogue 1197
2. Butterick 5562
Now my observations:
This year I had a nice assortment of garments throughout the year from various fabrics. This is good for me since I tend to sew with knits and make lots of tops usually. My top eleven only included one (thanks, Carolyn) Simplicity pattern (yes, New Look but not Simplicity), another change for me. In previous years, I would sew almost all Simplicity patterns. Does this say I am branching out or the pattern companies are offering more of what I am looking for? I would say a bit of both. Also, I have been doing a better job of getting pictures of the garments on me, not just my dressform.
Next year? I want to make Vogue 8747 a couple more times, I really like that blouse. Look to RTW for more inspiration, my Cabi-inspired trench sees quite a bit of wear. Also, continue to make dresses, those are easy, go-to pieces in my wardrobe.
One more observation- my sewing was 50% for me this year and 50% for my daughters (mainly Erin's teaching clothes), so tomorrow a top 11 for those garments.
Lori, your work is so consistently top-notch. Well done!
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice round-up with lots of pretty clothes! I sew a lot of knit tops myself, of course, that's because I wear a lot of knit tops!
ReplyDeleteI love reading these end-of-the-year posts....and yours shows some lovely clothes!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great review of your sewing! Everything you have made looks great and has given me some ideas! I particularly like the Vogue 1250 with sleeves. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteLori - I hate to break it to you but your beautiful jacket was made from a Simplicity pattern! I have to tell you though that I loved that you picked the top 11 for 2011...very nice premise...and you made some awesome pieces during 2011. Especially McCalls 5525!!!
ReplyDeleteLori - You made some great pieces to add to your wardrobe. Superb sewing and style. I love, love your chanel jacket. Happy New Year! Looking forward to seeing what you make next year.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful line-up of lovely clothes. I must agree with Cennetta - my favourite is your Chanel jacket.
ReplyDeleteLove all the garments you made this year and looking forward to 2012.
