2015 Completions

This year, I learned to love garment sewing. I didn't anything done between January and March thanks to a rough bout of pregnancy sickness, but I made up for it starting in July when my son was born.  I added three new clothing patterns to my repertoire - approximately doubling the number of garments I'd made before - and changed from quilts to outfits for the babies of my childbearing friends. I've also learned the value of a project with a shorter time to completion, since sewing hours are just that much more precious with two kids than with one.

That said, I am particularly proud of my sole quilty finish this year: a feature quilt for my son's nursery. I started with only a panel and no pattern in mind, and improved my way from start to finish on a quilt whose design and color palate I adore. 

I'm not sure I'll be able to go "up" from here in terms of total productivity (I was assisted this year by maternity leave and a brief stint of unemployment for my husband), but I'm pretty excited about the skills I get to carry into the new year.
