I didn't do a lot of sewing this year, at least, not until December. During the year I did a handful of practical things – developing a T-shirt pattern for remaking purchased shirts I didn't like the fit of; and updating purchased cargo pants to take up the hems, take in the waist and put zips on the pockets – but nothing notable.
I'm trying to make a standard skirt base (including this, and this) but haven't quite got the fit consistent, so while I did make a plain skirt this year, it's currently in the mending pile.
In 2023 I had a couple of lessons with Rockstars and Royalty to develop a custom-fitted corset pattern, based on Truly Victorian TV110. Having now got a pattern that fits (like, really nicely) I've made a few this year refining the design using whatever fabric I had roughly half a metre of.
Then in December I got completely obsessed with recreating an outfit from a Kinuko Y. Craft illustration. I spent 2 weeks developing the pattern and making mockups (everything went astoundingly smoothly) and am a good way through a couple of the pieces. More details to follow…
