Here’s a gallery of all the things I made in 2021… or at least everything I remembered to get a photo of!
In 2021 I finished a total of 35 sewing projects. I was a pattern tester for 4 patterns, a paid content creator, and I even got sent a pattern for free which really made me feel like an influencer! This was also the year I started drafting my own clothing patterns.
