2012 in Review

When I look back 2012 produced quality over quantity.  Transferring from a work from home consulting business to an executive role in the city certainly has dinted my productivity and influenced my wardrobe needs. What do you mean I can't work in my pyjamas anymore?

My top five for 2012 were (clockwise from top left)
  • My polkadot Kay Unger dress Vogue 1303
  • My paisley silk voile kaftan Simplicity 2696
  • DD's white silk party dress, self-drafted
  • My ponte art panel skirt Butterick 5566
  • My ponte jacket and matching skirt (not shown) Burda 04/09 116

    What a nice look back on 2012. It's also nice to have reason to get done up and wear all the gorgeous pieces you've sewn up -- you have some sleek pieces here!

    All of the pieces are lovely, but my personal favorite is that tunic top. It just looks so beautiful on you.

    2013 was a good sewing year for you - the colours in the tunic top are very flattering.
    Happy New Year...J

    Happy New Year Gail. I love your top five. My goal for 2013 is definitely quality and classic over quantity. But I'll still want to try out a few trendy pieces.

    Great choices for your top five of 2012. The caftan was definitely a fave (you are always making things in the best fabrics!), as was the beautiful dress you made for your daughter. Happy new year and I look forward to seeing more in 2013!

    You did have a great 2012 especially considering that you went to work outside your home! Hope you get even more sewing done in 2013!

    Yeap, work sure cuts into sewing time doesn't it? I love your top 5, but then again I think everything you make is beautiful.

    Nothing wrong with quality over quantity! It just means the things you make are more detailed and durable. :) Nice picks for this year, they all look like great work clothes.

    Quality over quantity is the best way to go. You made some great pieces last year.
