Happy New Year, everyone! It is with great joy that I share my final project of 2013, completed just in time to wear for the New Year’s Eve soiree chez Wittzler. I was really dubious about finishing this project in December, but with the exception of a belt loop (more on that later), I did it! As the culmination of all my learnings as a seamstress this past year, I decided to tackle the most complicated clothes project I’ve tackled yet–a pair of fitted pants. I hoped to complete them in time to have something special to wear for New Year’s, but when it came to be December 22nd, and I was only just cutting out the material, I wasn’t so certain that I’d finish them in 2013.

Sewing Sunday: September Edition – A New Frock Fit for a Wedding
I have recently returned from a vacation in Northern California, which was motivated by my brother-in-law’s wedding. The wedding was fantastic, and the trip was delightful, and there will be more about that in an upcoming blog post. In the meantime, I wanted to tell you about the dress I made for the wedding. I only have one brother-in-law (and his fiancée–now wife–is awesome), so I figured his wedding was a good occasion for some special attire. It also motivated me to try out a pattern that I was a little intimidated by, partially because it was a Vogue pattern and partially because the bodice construction appeared to be somewhat confusing.
