2012 Wrap-up

I don’t really have too much to show for 2012.  I did complete garments, but I was a very bad blogger.  A lot of changes happened on the home front and they took precedence so everything else took a back seat.  I’m hoping 2013 will be a better year (as I keep my fingers crossed.  Here are a few of my favorites, and I’m also including pictures of some that were not blogged about.  Hopefully in the future I’ll talk about them or make them again because quite a few should be repeated.


These were a few of my favorites

McCall 6118. It might be an OOP, but I still love it and it looks great on stage.

McCall 6206(OOP) and McCall 6440.  I plan on making this jacket again in a tweed.  I have made these Palmer Pletsch slim pants three times now.  Would that be considered a TNT yet?

McCall 4517 (OOP)

McCall 6559. One for me and one for a friend as a thank you.

Vogue 1247.  I think everyone has made this one.  If you haven't, give it a try. 

New Look 6130 and McCall 3830.  I love knowing that I can wear these two pieces together as you see here or as separates. 

The Kimono t-shirt by Maria Denmark.  I see more of these coming this Spring and Summer.

Burda 8/2012 #112 for Faye's sew-a-long.  There is nothing like a flashy skirt.  Love it.

McCall 6402 (OOP) but you can still get it on the McCall site.  I enjoyed working this skirt up.

The top is Vogue 1291 and the leather pants are McCall 6440 which I made and pictured above.  One pattern different looks.  You can't beat that.

McCall 6556.  I loved making this coat and it was probably one of the easiest patterns I every worked with.

Simplicity 2181 or Sheila's 1849.  I used 2181 so that I'd have more choices in the future as to the variations of tops to make.

Vogue 1267 (the Tom and Linda Platt dress) a dress I made for a friend for her college graduation.

Crochet cowl made is variegated chenille yarn

Crochet newsboy cap made with Noro Silk Garden.

 

Kwik Sew KP-2935 made for Mr. D's birthday.  Pattern is compliments of Clio.  Thanks girl, he loved it.

New Look 6036

Chunky newsboy hat (crocheted) with matching cowl.wrap knitted.

#3 Lace Caplet by Tanis Gray from Vogue Knitting Spring/Summer 2010.
