Hello there!
I did a poll back over on Instagram whether or not you would like to see all my makes that I did in 2020 over here, in a blog post.
Well, the answer was a huge “yes, Please!”, so here goes.
Also if you don’t know I’ve recently started doing my YouTube channel again (yay!) and I’ve uploaded a video with some of my favourite makes from this year! So if you can, please check it out and let me know what your favourite make is (either here in the comments or in the youtube video comments).

Well, there we have it … over 30 me-mades this year. A lot of Testers and I’m starting to dabble a bit more in separates. I’m super chuffed at what I’ve sewn up. Some were WIPs and some spontaneous but nevertheless I love them all.
In 2021, I hope to make more Trousers, skirts and other separates. I’m going back to planning my make nine this year, which I fine tuned with plans that will hopefully help push me and expand my me made wardrobe.
Talking of which, I will be posting something on here and on YouTube regarding my make nine plans … watch this space!
