New hobby. End of the year

So it’s been like just under a year since I have properly started sewing and making my own clothes. 

I have learn a lot. Not only to really follow a pattern and but also about my sewing machine and it’s temperament, she is a  little difficult when it comes to gathering. 

I am looking to learn and make more. More insta challenges too! There is one about trousers in the month of January. I have an idea but I think I might have to toile it 1st! 

And I need to finish all my cut out projects! 

But I want to show you my favourite makes… well actually they were all successful and I wore everything and multiple times but I really love my yellow Sophiya trousers, indigo top and the sun hat. 



I never thought I was a jazzy trousers person but I am and I wear and wear and wear them! Well not now in a winter. 



Such a unusual make. Ans super satisfying too. I think I could’ve have gone a size smaller but it works well. And definitely a statement! 



Now this, the indigo tunic/dress into a top out of a yard of African wax. It was challenging and a little like a crazy assembly, facings are offcuts of other wax prints, flounce is from pieces too…. But I made me think outside the box and problem solve. 

Honorable mention should also come to shorts I made for my boys and big boys pair was even with some piping! 

So here is to more males in 2023 and my new overlocker Elna!
