2015 in Sewing

Wow, another year! This year has brought new challenges, with less income and a different schedule as I started grad school, but also more flexible time and new energy. And it looks like I found quite a lot of time to sew! Many of my projects this year could be characterized as quick and easy, but these were often my most-worn. I have nearly worn my Ginger jeans to death, and the simple tops have seen a lot of wear. I also had the opportunity to work on some really fun projects, from my jacket with Beth to some new dresses for this summer's weddings. There were of course a couple of duds, but overall a good year!

Total Projects: about 40
Average Cost: about $14


1. Gingham Love - still in love with this top!
2. Blush Top - I'm not sure this is my best color, but I wear this one a lot, too
3. Granville Shirt - just the basic white shirt I needed
4. Pink Granville - a little tight in the shoulders, but still wearable
5. Crop Top - fun for the right occasion
6. Bias Cut Camisole - not sure how much this one will get worn - we'll see
7. Navy Sutton Blouse - a bit of a dud for me, something's just off with this one
8. Camas Blouse - another dud
9. Jasper Sweater Tunic - wore this one this morning
10. Grandma Pants - so comfy!

  3. You have been so productive! An average cost of $14 that is amazing! specially considering you made a coat and jacket. How did you do that?

    1. Averages can be a bit deceiving, and in this case a lot of the dog stuff was made for free with remnants and some of the fabric came for free from fabric swaps with the Bay Area sewists. The jacket was definitely more expensive to make, and you can check out the details by clicking on its link. I do have a great source for discount wool though at Stone Mountain and Daughter in Berkeley!
