Just one New Year’s Re-sew-lution for my this year: to sort out all my UFOs and WIPs. 
That includes completing my Curated Closet project! I’ve added a new post to my blog, in which I try on loads of so-completely-not-me clothes to try to narrow down my style profile. Fun? Kind of… Hopefully it’ll lead to a better use of my sewing time, and fewer me-made things in the ‘meh’ and wardrobe orphans pile.

My #bhlrumana coat included some bits and pieces that weren’t in the pattern instructions – like the back stay you can see in this picture – so I’ve published an extra blog post today that covers these and my tips on the tailoring process. (Link in profile). #sewingblogger #coatmaking #rumanacoat #tailoring #memadeeveryday
Always fun to look back over the year before launching headfirst into the next one... Here’s my #topnine for 2018. My Rumana coat features heavily, plus jeans, a wrap dress, a robe and a cake. A pretty accurate reflection of my sewing life this year, I reckon!
What’s in yours?
Winter is my peak knitting season (all that snuggly wool), so I’ve treated myself to a couple of books to help me learn new skills. The sock book was recommended to me, plus I have weirdly shaped feet; the dogs were too cute not to buy. #sockknitting #edwardsmenageriedogs
