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

  7. 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.

  8. 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!

  11. 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!

  12. 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.

  13. 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.
