Top 5 Favourite Makes of 2019

This year I think I've managed to sew some things that I really want to wear. I'm so pleased with so many of this year's makes and it's always so difficult to choose definite favourites, but these are my final five.

These aren't in any particular order but I had to place my prom dress first! I mentioned in this post just how proud I am of it and seeing the photos always make me smile. I really enjoy more in depth makes and like to have at least one bigger project every year.

This linden is such a simple make but it's rapidly become one that is worn again and again. The rib fabric is so soft and such a lovely shade of grey. All round it's a great staple to have.

These trousers might be my absolute favourite make of 2019! I just love them so much. The fabric is exactly what I was looking for, the pattern is comfy and smart and they remind me of my trip to Tomato in Tokyo where I bought the fabric.

I classed this pink fluffy jacket as my most unexpected make this year and I love it because I would never have imagined that I would make something like this! My only regret is that I haven't been brave enough to wear it more often and I'd really like to make another in a less bold colour. Having said that, I do love this jacket!

This is kind of cheating as there are two makes in one here! My flint culottes were a really successful make earlier in the year but my favourite here is the jersey shirt. I have worn this top so much and made another in white that I also love.

I'm really pleased with my 2019 makes and can't wait for more sewing in 2020! The only thing I haven't made this year is jeans and I'm really hoping to make a few pairs next year as I've grown out of my previous handmade pairs. I'm in the process of making a pair of Lander Pants and have the Dawn Jeans in mind too.
