My 2025 Me Made Wardrobe! Last year my main goal was to grow my sewing and pattern drafting skills through the expansion of my wardrobe. I made 11 dresses and even found the time to knit a sweater. I am so happy with the results. Here is some info about each piece in the order I made them.
Modified Bardon Dress by Peppermint Magazine made out of a thrifted Joe Boxer bed sheet.
Modified Bardon Dress made out of 1994 quilting cotton I was gifted from my grandma.
Self drafted princess seam dress with my first ever invisible zipper made from a thrifted bed sheet.

Self drafted Princess seam dress with gathered yoke made from a thick 100% cotton thrifted bed sheet.
A variation on dress number 5 made from vintage quilting cotton gifted to me by my husband's aunt when she passed. She was an amazing seamstress and has played a huge roll in my sewing journey. RIP the Lion Lady.

A variation on dress number 7 with an elasticated back made from 2003 quilting cotton gifted to me by the Lion Lady.
