Things I Made 2013
It's not really a big list, but I'm ok with it. I hope to do more this year. I always have Big Plans, but I procrastinate and do other things than sew, and thus the Big Plans become much smaller. This year, however, I actually have goals for a few different projects and I'm really motivated for these!! We're doing a "family costume" thing, and it will be awesome. I've already started on it, and must finish by June.
After I get the family project done, then I'll move on to some smaller things. I am going to add in some hand sewing, because that can be done at different times from the family project.
The first thing I actually completed didn't happen until Bastille Day in July, but it got done! My
Then for the Austenland viewing, I made a spencerino to wear over my chemise dress. I really love this piece - it was quick and easy, and I think it's absolutely lovely. It's also part of a sew-along:
This one shows the Reticule I finally completed, which had been lying about in an "almost done" state for well over two years:
Then I ditched costuming for a bit of toy making. This one was for my son's 3rd birthday:
And this doll for my daughter's 5th birthday!
And some Christmas presents!
These dolls for my 18 month old nieces, that match the ones I made for the 'older' kids last year:
A "casual, daily wear" Cinderella dress made from recycled t-shirts for my niece, the twins' big sister (modeled by my daughter):
And a Belle dress for another niece (and like the Cinderella dress, made from recycled t-shirts for casual, daily wear, heh):
