A YEAR OF COMFORT SEWING!
Hey Peeps!
I hadn't quite realised just how many T'N'T's (Tried and Trues) I'd made this year!!
It was a LOT!
With everything else I had going on I needed my sewing to be something that brought me joy and was successful!
Something the repeat projects gave me the confidence to do was cut in to some of my very precious fabrics that I've been hoarding for "just the right project!".... I'm sure you guys all know exactly what I mean by that! I'm so pleased to say that none of those precious fabric projects ended up being failures!
All in all I really like most of what I sewed up in 2024, not all were successful but the failures this time were in fabric and print choices. Let me know which of these pieces you like and why. Also do you agree with me on my "fails"? I'd love to hear what you think!
I promise there will be some new and exciting projects coming in 2025!
