Top 5 Favourite Makes of 2018

Looking back on a year of sewing is one of my favourite things to do. It's lovely to have an overview of the things I've made too. Choosing one favourite make of the year is just too difficult so I've chosen my top 5.



I'm sure you saw this one coming! I also mentioned on my last post that it was my proudest make of the year. I love it so much, I can't wait to wear it again in the spring.



I've worn my Stella hoodie so much since I made it and I continue to love it every bit as much. The texture of the fabric is perfect and I love the contrast hood lining in the pink and grey stripes. I've since added cuffs to the end of the sleeves which have made me love it even more and it's super comfy for winter.



I haven't actually worn these trousers for a while as it's just been too cold but during spring I wore them constantly. There are so comfortabel and I love how they look. These are another item that I can't wait to be able to wear again in the warmer weather.



It feels so strange looking at this skirt as it is currently completely the wrong season for it but during the heat wave that we had in July it was absolutely perfect to wear. I love the detail of the ribbon on this skirt, it elevates a basic denim skirt into something more special.



Finally, I had to include these as they make me so happy! I've actually found that I'm able to wear them much more in the colder weather and they cheer up a gloomy day without being too over the top. 


Even narrowing it down to 5 proved difficult, I think that this year I've managed to make more things that I can actually wear everyday. I love being able to wear handmade clothes. Thank you so, so much for reading my blog this year!

  1. You have done an amazing job of creating your own wardrobe. I love your parka and also your gingham trousers. I have the material for a parka (Amy parka by Schnittchen) but have so far not felt inspired enough to start. Happy New Year!

    P.S. I can see a yellow box saying that my comment has been saved as I am typing this but I am fairly certain I have not commented yet :-)

  2. You are wonderfully talented and I love what you have made. My sewing skills are very basic but I keep telling myself that if I take the time I'll be able to sew some clothes for myself that I'll actually wear. Maybe 2019 will be the year! xx Susan

  6. You have really mastered the art of fitting clothing to suit your figure. They look so great on you and one would never guess that you made them yourself! You inspire me and remind me how much enjoyment I've gotten in the past by making my own clothing. Happy New Year!
