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.
