Thanks to Gillian, the Top 5 of 2013 is popping up all over the sewing blogs. I have had so much fun reading others' top 5, that I just had to jump right in.
1. My red Burda Pants - the pattern is such a hit and I think I have made it 5 times. 2 denim pairs, a red pair, a khaki pair and the red pair. The pattern is Burda 7447
2. My Missoni-Esque Maxi, the fabric probably puts this over the top. The pop of aqua in the browns is wonderful
3. This one is a two-for-one pattern Vogue 8884. I made it for the spring in pink
4. A recent make, my Lola dress, this is just a feel-good dress.
5. My transformed Simplicity 1886, using a RTW top as inspiration, this top is a real winner.
Then I have to include one more bonus, I just cannot leave out my Archer shirts, which I obviously can only wear with my sunglasses!
You have had an amazing sewing year! Love your top 5 and jealous of all your wonderful Archers!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carolyn, it has been a great year and I am going to make more Archers!
DeleteI've enjoyed your Top 5 ... and everyone else's. I hope I have time tomorrow to put together one of my own. Who am I kidding ... I'm old and boring and not doing ANYTHING to ring in the new year. Hahaha.
ReplyDeleteLove your sunglasses comment, as well as all the great Archers themselves.
Thanks, Debbie, I enjoyed your top 5 post, you have a way with the written word. I was home by 10 on NYE!
DeleteThese are great makes - all of them. It seems like your output has really increased, and yet I believe you are busier now. love the Lola, the red pants and the Archers. g
ReplyDeleteThanks, I have had a bit more time to sew, or making time to sew. The kids should be here till then end of January, then watch out. I will be sewing quite a bit as the house will feel empty!
DeleteWhat a fun year! The Missoni-esque maxi dress is my favorite-- it's absolutely amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sonja, the Missoni-esque is my favorite maxi ever
DeleteI think my favorite is your leopard coat, I still hope to get one made. I also love your Burda pants, I've not yet sewn using a Burda pattern and have that on my 2014 list.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joen, it is a great coat and great fabric. You will like Burda patterns, I need to expand my collection.
DeleteThanks for sharing your Top 5! You are a prolific sewer!! My favorites are your coats and S1886. I also enjoyed the variety of Archer shirts.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dharma, I seem to make coats or tops for most my garments.
DeleteYou make the most beautiful things and the fit is always perfect! I'm not sure how you were able to narrow it down to just 5!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shar, I left off a couple of favorites!
DeleteGreat top 5! Really love your V8884s.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Vicki, I like the Vogue pattern.
DeleteWhat a fun five but then again, I enjoy all your projects. Your Vogue 8884 coats are the ones that most inspiring me for next year.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jane, have fun making your Vogue 8884
DeleteI *love* your red pants!!! Sew me a pair? ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your comments on my blog--I enjoyed getting to "know" you this year!!
Happy New Year!
Thanks, I have made that pattern so many times and the red pants fit the best. I have enjoyed getting to know you, too.
DeleteHi Lori! I found you from Ella's blog. Love your makeover! ( I'm doing one in April!) I am now following you - I haven't sewed for myself in awhile but maybe you'll inspire me. ;)
