2012: A {Partial} RECAP


So…our first “Year-in-Review Blog Recap” must be dubbed a partial recap. Not because we didn’t try to be thorough in the recap, but because our blogging adventures began on June 1st of this year – making us “Blogging Babies.”
As far as our six months in review….
*We began to blog {insert excited face here}.
*We became fixated on Oliver + S patterns and their possibilities.
{1. Birthday Party Dress; 2. Bubble Dress; 3. Picnic Blouse, modified; 4. Family Reunion Dress; 5. Bubble Dress, modified; 6. Badminton Top and Skort; 7. Swingset Top; 8. Family Reunion Dress; 9. Popover Sundress, modified; 10. Sleepover Pajamas; 11. After School Shirt, modified}
*We sewed along with Flickr Friends in two seasons of Project Run and Play.

{1. Fashion Icon Week; 2. Circle Skirt Remix; 3. White Sheet Challenge; 4. Let’s Go to the Movies}
*We doubled our sewing pleasure with the addition of niece #2.

*We had the wonderful opportunity to pattern test two Shwin and Shwin patterns
{Pleated Penny Top and the Lizzy Dress seen below}.
*We guest posted on Project Run and Play Flickr Friends
and Elegance and Elephant‘s Knock It Off Series.
So, there you have it: our sewing summation….

In the past year, the sewing community became a much smaller place as we conversed with you, our newfound friends, from all over the world. We have delighted in your blog comments {and advice}, and now consider you not only bloggers, but also our friends! We were blessed beyond measure in 2012 and are excited about what 2013 holds for us.

I started blogging this year too, but I haven’t created nearly as many lovely things as you have. Looking forward to seeing what you make in the new year! =)

So glad you decided to share your creations with us via this blog – the sewing world is a better place with you two in it:) I have so enjoyed reading about your creations . . . and wishing my daughters had sewing aunts like you! Looking forward to seeing more in 2013!

Thanks ladies!! We must say, it’s nice to actually have you follow our adventures, instead of feeling as if we are talking to ourselves (as we did at the onset of this blog)…..Looking forward to sharing more in 2013!
