2020 Completions

Well, 2020 was the year of the pandemic, I think the pandemic plus general learning/increases in speed led to my most productive sewing year ever, even if you don't count all the masks. And oh, were there a lot of masks. But also, plenty of other fun things. It was a year where ambitious projects took a backseat to comfort sewing - and the year my daughter started to lose interest in custom fabrics, sigh - but I did still get a lot done. 

So without further reminiscing, here are my completions from 2020:
