It brings me great satisfaction to look back at my 'makes' and even with all the changes we had in 2025, I think I still had a good 'sewing' year!
In January ...
I turned a flannel nightshirt into a warm flannel skirt for winter ...
and notebook pen holders ...
In February ...
I stitched up several 'Santa' sacks ...
In March ...
I made these oversized zipper pouches ...
these two drawstring bags ...
I did some more repurposing by turning a dress that didn't fit well into a skirt that did ...
In May ...
I repurpose a dress I purchased at a thrift store into a skirt ...
In June ...
I added a crocheted ruffle onto this piece of flannel and turned it into a baby blanket ...
In July ...
I customized a new Bible teaching bag ...
and made two book sleeves ... HERE and HERE ...
Nothing in August, but in September I was back at it ...
hanging towels ...
a drawstring 'teddy bear' bag ...
and jar toppers ...
Nothing in October, but hello November ...
I created Thanksgiving treats for my grands ...
stitched up this 'chicken themed' drawstring bag ...
and refashioned a sweatshirt ...
In December ...
I completed stitching these alphabet letters ...
That's a wrap on my 2025 making, creating and sewing, I'm looking forward to 2026!
I hope you've enjoyed this little trip down memory lane!
Until the next time!

Monkey see. Monkey do. After seeing your ideas this year I made jar toppers, gift bags, and zippered bags. I also made the notebook pen holder but put a fold over topper on it so the pens don't fall out. I had some bits of zelcro left over that keeps it closed. I downloaded the pattern for the hanging towel and made a stack as gifts using vegetable prints that were in my stash. Also a few out of chicken material. As you can tell, I love your ideas. Thank you for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, that's an excellent idea to put a fold over topper on the notebook pen holders!! I'll have to remember that when I make more.
DeleteI also like the idea of making the hanging towels with something other than holiday fabrics ... now, you are inspiring me!!!
I loved seeing your sewing year!
