2012: A {Partial} RECAP

So...our first "Year-in-Review Blog Recap" must be dubbed a partial recap. Not because we didn't try to be thorough in the recap, but because our blogging adventures began on June 1st of this year - making us "Blogging Babies."

As far as our six months in review....

*We began to blog {insert excited face here}.

*We became fixated on Oliver + S patterns and their possibilities.

{1. Birthday Party Dress; 2. Bubble Dress; 3. Picnic Blouse, modified; 4. Family Reunion Dress; 5. Bubble Dress, modified; 6. Badminton Top and Skort; 7. Swingset Top; 8. Family Reunion Dress; 9. Popover Sundress, modified; 10. Sleepover Pajamas; 11. After School Shirt, modified}

*We sewed along with Flickr Friends in two seasons of Project Run and Play.

{1. Fashion Icon Week; 2. Circle Skirt Remix; 3. White Sheet Challenge; 4. Let's Go to the Movies}

*We doubled our sewing pleasure with the addition of niece #2.

*We had the wonderful opportunity to pattern test two Shwin and Shwin patterns

{Pleated Penny Top and the Lizzy Dress seen below}.

*We guest posted on Project Run and Play Flickr Friends

and Elegance and Elephant's Knock It Off Series.

So, there you have it: our sewing summation....

In the past year, the sewing community became a much smaller place as we conversed with you, our newfound friends, from all over the world. We have delighted in your blog comments {and advice}, and now consider you not only bloggers, but also our friends! We were blessed beyond measure in 2012 and are excited about what 2013 holds for us.
