I’ve achieved quite a lot in 2016! Surprised myself!
Dressmaking
Three tops and one hanger to hang…..well, one of them on!
Another top which the wonderful Tula Pink even signed for me (it’s her fabric I used to make it)
(1st, 3rd and 4th photos – pattern is “Schoolhouse Tunic” 2nd photo – pattern is “Esme Top“)
And using the “Schoolhouse Tunic” pattern again, I lengthened it and made a dress!
Bags
Two of these bags
(Basic pattern is “Open Wide Zippered Pouch” altered to add in the Liberty rectangles.)
Knitting
Had lots of fun with socks! And completed 16 pairs in 2016 (started in May, finished in December)
