This year I said I would make myself some clothes to fill my
closet with things that make me happy.
Juggling life, school, and a blog, I have to say I did pretty alright for
myself. For 2015, I'll be more vigilant in documenting what I make so I can
link back to them in a nicer fashion.
Sewn items.
Dapper Day Dress. (And the post
all about it)
I had such a blast making this. I've worn it a couple more times since it's
debut at
Disneyland, and it's always getting
compliments.
Sew for Victory ensemble.
This is one of my go to outfits. I clearly need to make the blouse pattern
about 50 more times, it's comfy and goes with everything.
Peasant blouses.
I made myself a cute light blue one, and it's perfect for summer and a Southern California fall. I also made one for a friend,
but it's a gift. She'll get it after new years.
Bullet Bra.
I used
Brittany
from
VaVoom Vintage's pattern, and it's SUCH A COMFY BRA! I made two so-far,
and will totally be making more.(for those of you who are scratching your heads, a lot of the vintage patterns and clothing were cut with the fashion of the time in mind, so modern bras will have ill fit)
I have two other ones cut out, and will work on them soon. The muslin I made works perfectly, wonky
stitches and all. The second one is equally comfortable and looks fancy. I
think I'll maybe make the band longer, something akin to a longline bra, if I'm
successful I'll show my progress.
Pattern Making final.
For part of my final for my pattern making course, we had to make a garment from a pattern block for ourselves, or another person. I made myself a cute 40's inspired dress with a detachable cape. Now I messed up in a couple places, but I will most certainly be making this again. It's too cute not to.
Knitted goods.
I didn't get to make as many knitted items as I thought, but I did pretty alright!
Now I've blogged about this, and I still want to make this about 20 times more, just longer.
Snood.
I need more cute yarn colors for this fun versatile accessory. I think next
year I'll so some cute styling tips for a snood as well. Might even sell some if I feel up to it.
Here's to me making more awesome things in the new year!
