Here’s a gallery of all the things I made in 2016-2018…. or at least everything I remembered to get a photo of!
I started sewing in 2016 while living in Singapore, and I was a fairly prolific maker in that first year. 12 projects – not bad for a beginner! Then I only managed 3 makes across 2017-2018 as we lived in a place that had no room for my sewing machine.
Batik Cheongsam
