This year I will again be joining Marie from A Stitching Odyssey in her 2015 Vintage Sewing Pattern Pledge.
During 2015, I Pledge to sew five of my vintage/vintage repro patterns, including at least one from the Lutterloh system and the Australian home journal dress making magazine.
Last year I used four patterns from my collection, which I will share again here as it also serves as a 2014 round up post. I feel a bit silly having a round up post with only four outfits, especially amongst other sewing blogs with sewn items in the double digits! However since in 2013 the amount of items I sewed for myself was a whopping zero, I'm pretty pleased with my self :) I'm also really happy, that three of the outfits where part of Sew Alongs.
The fourth, was the most special thing I sewed last year.

Last year I also finished my cardigan I started on a road trip across the States.
Lastly in 2014, on Boxing Day started my first Knit Along. The Selfish Sweater KAL held by the talented Andi, from Untangling Knots. The deadline is February so there is still time to join too.

Its also been good to make a dent, albeit a small dent in my fabric stash. I really want to spend this year working through what I have and stop buying new/more fabric and patterns. So here's to more sewing and stash busting in 2015!
I'm working on stash busting, too! I have so many good fabrics, and just not enough*free* hours in the day!
ReplyDeleteoh me too! I keep thinking I should also pledge to only use fabric from my stash. But every time I say I'm not going to buy any more fabric- I jinx myself and come across amazing vintage fabrics!
DeleteOh man Esther, you're so adorable! I can't wait to see all the things you make!! And I need to work on categorizing my fabricstash, then sewing from them.
