VIDEO All the things I made in 2019

In today’s video, I’m sharing everything I made in 2019. Well, not quite everything but most of it! At first, I thought that I hadn’t made very much this year, but after I started tallying it up, I discovered that I’d easily made over 30 things. The big change in the last few years has been that I’ve been blogging less than I used to. Plus, lots of the things I made were pattern samples. 

Watch the video for all the details on what worked out and what flopped. To check out all the garments I did blog about this year, check out the links below.

Yesterday, I shared my holiday Dana Jumpsuit hack with a v-neck and today I’m going to show you how to draft a facing. The Dana Jumpsuit, like many other patterns, uses a facing to finish the neckline edge. So, if you want to alter the neckline, you’ll also need to alter the neckline facing. Fortunately, drafting a neckline is really easy. In fact, if you’re totally new to pattern drafting, this is a really good place to start. Watch the video below for all the details.

This month’s featured pattern is the Eva Tops and Sundress. 🧵 We love all the details of this pattern because it makes it so fun to sew. If you’re looking for something cute for summer AND don’t want to get bored, this one is for y
