2011 was a good year! Some faves...
As is customary this time of year, I'm thinking back on the past. I've had some fave projects this year, for sure!! Let's look through 2011 for my favorite creations of the past 12 months...
Loving my crazy red jeans upcycle. Wore them this holiday season!
Seriously loving the fur-trimmed vest (tutorial!) I made from a men's sweater vest, and wore with my fave shirt...
Wore this work dress from last year in a fun new way...
Oh, and I got married! Yay! I made my dress, veil, shoe poufs, and all five bridesmaid dresses, and our flower girl's dress. And plenty of DIYs for the reception decor!
I used some Ruffle Fabric to make a seriously showy and festive dress for my bachelorette party (so much fun!)...
I did an upcycle I'm really proud of, a crazy 90's jumper into a pretty print dress...
And another recycled project, a chunky 90's tee into a great striped skirt...
In June, I made a half-lace dress inspired by an Anthro one for a lovely bridal shower my sweet friends held for me. Such a fun day! And I love the dress.
Last spring, I played around with silk scraps and made some Anthro-inspired pillows, and did tutorials for all of them...
And last winter, we moved into a new place in a cool neighborhood in Portland and I tried out a new color scheme (well, uh, because the apartment came with it). 'Course, since then, we've painted our room...
Here's to starting off 2012 on a good note!! My goals for the year include more blogging and sewing, of course, and hopefully spending more time reaching out to other bloggers and online tools. It's so awesome how many talented people there are out there!
What are your faves from 2011? Or ambitious sewing and crafty goals for 2012?
