Here’s a gallery of all the things I made in 2023… or at least everything I remembered to get a photo of!
In 2023 I finished a total of 19 sewing projects. I was a pattern tester for 3 patterns and got a quite a few patterns for free in exchange for content, which was so cool! I also really started to improve my pattern drafting skills, and my garment idea generation skills also improved because of my Fashion Design studies.
