Projects of 2012: Sewing

There were fewer sewing related projects this year as compared to others. I was doing more stage management and lots of new apartment fixing, cleaning and organizing.

Here are the hightlights:

Flannel crib quilt and burp cloths for the new niece!

Baprons for my nephew. These things are great for using up smaller pieces of cotton and flannel.

more burp cloths! apparently they are hard to find in the shops…

Peacock inspired flapper dress from modified slip for Ragpickers costume dept.

Plan for 2013 is to work on my UFOs (all stuff for me…) and make at least one garment from each decade of the 20th century. 1930s patterns are in the mail and my stash of vintage patterns has been growing. Time to put them to work!
