I know I sew a lot, but I do feel that I don't complete a lot of items, therefore I find it interesting to see what I have achieved at the end of each year, and it was:
7 x Tops
2 x Pants
2 x Skirts
2 x UFO's
1 x Cardigan
1 x Jeans
1 x Hand knitted garment
5 x Jewellery pieces
3 x Craft
Patterns used:
BWOF - 2
Simplicity - 3
Vogue - 2
Jalie - 1
Marfy - 1
Kwik.Sew - 2
Self Drafted - 2
Favourite Garment
Even though they have only just been finished, I have to say it is the Jalie Jeans. The fact that I have got such a great fit is the reason I sew and I'm so glad that I do.
The other is Kwik.Sew 3740, this is such a great fitting pattern for me, even though I only made 2 tops this year from this pattern they have been worn constantly and I plan on making some short sleeve/no sleeve versions for summer with this pattern.
Highlights
- Attending the Sewing & Stitchery Expo in Puyallup, USA with my two sewing buddies Alison and Maria.
- Spending a weekend with my Mum and Sister sewing at Bribie Island.
- Another sewing weekend with my sewing buddies at North Ryde.
- Organising the Pattern Review get together here in Sydney and meeting a group of wonderful ladies.
- Complete 1 garment a month - I'm still working on this, with all the sewing days I have it is a mystery to me why this doesn't happen. However with a total of 24 pieces I must have had some very productive months :)
- Complete at least one competition either at Stitchers Guild or Pattern Review - This just didn't happen.
- Complete 1 garment a month, I would really like to start/finish a garment a month.
- Complete at least one competition either at Stitchers Guild or Pattern Review.
- Play with the binders for my Coverstitch machine and get comfortable using them.
And finally, a collage of the pieces I made in 2011.
There are a couple more UFO's to complete and hopefully I will be able to share them with you soon.
Happy New Year and thank you for stopping by.

2011 was a whirlwind for sure and you packed a lot in! Here's hoping we get to meet at one of the sewing weekends in 2012! Thanks for being an inspiration this year.
I think it's pretty fabulous that you made it to Puyallup last year all the way from Australia! I live in San Francisco and still haven't made it to Puyallup!
Happy 2012!
Each piece you make is quality Sharon. Thanks for a great year too.
Great pieces & what a great year!
Wow, you did have a fun filled productive year! All the best for 2012, may it be a good one filled with sewing cheer.
Great outfits, especially the white jeans. Now for that jacket to complete the look.
I think you should be happy with your "average" number of garments per month. You sure beat me. I averaged just under 1 garment per month in 2011. Like you, I am going to try again this year to get to one per month.
Hi Sharon. You certainly were productive in 2011! I love your collage. I may try one.
Happy New Year and Happy sewing in 2012.
Lovely pieces - thanks for sharing your sewing & crafting with us! All the best for a great 2012.
You must be happy with 2011-you did heaps !!!!
You completed an impressive amount of sewing in 2011 and I'm looking forward to all your creations in 2012. Happy New Year.
You got a lot on your list done! Love the collage picture of your accomplishments.
2011 was a good year for you despite your reservations!! I am envious of your finished garments - they all look great. Looking forward to more sewing days in 2012 with you and the gang!
You've had a very fruitful year! The PR weekend was lots of fun - so thanks again for organising it. The Jalie Jeans are a definite winner. Happy 2012!
2011, was a good year, and I enjoyed seeing your lovely outfits popping up during the Me-Made challenge...
Best wishes for a wonderful and creative 2012!
