Happy New Year!

1/1/2016

If you're on Instagram, you've probably seen many of these #2015bestnine; they're so much fun! I just googled and found a site that generated my most liked Instagram posts for me. It was a great way to have a quick look back through my projects.

Noodlehead Caravan Tote 2. Noodlehead 241 Totes 3. Thread Riding Hood Cat-Eye Pouches 4. Swoon Evelyn Market Tote 5. Blue Calla Tansy Tote 6. Noodlehead fabric basket 7. Mrs. H Companion Carpet Bag 8. Emmaline Manhattan Mamma 9. Swoon Sandra Saddle Bag

2015 was this blog's first year and I'm happy to say it's been a great ride! I created some tutorials, worked with amazing designers for sew alongs and testing, played with gorgeous fabric, and even made some videos! Thank you so much to everyone who joined me. I hope to have an even better 2016.

I don't usually do New Year's resolutions, but this year I decided on one: I'd really like to focus on learning new sewing skills by trying some different things. Don't worry, I'll still make plenty of bags! I'm thinking of taking a few more Craftsy classes* and signing up for Creative Bug*, plus trying some different designers' patterns and this WILL be the year I try garment sewing.

Do you have any New Year's resolutions this year? Sewing, or otherwise? I'd love to hear them! Leave me a comment if you want to share.

We'll be Peter Pan together, Rachelle. Growing up is highly overrated.

Sigh! I have half of these patterns on my 2015 To-make list. I keep adding more so it might be 2018 before I get them to the machine and off the list.
