Older Makes I Still Love and Wear

Often times we like to focus on the new makes and patterns.  I enjoy looking at past makes, too.  I like to see what worked, what styles looked good, what colors work for me.  It helps me with future makes. 

Here are some of my makes 2015 and before that I still love and wear all the time.

  1. It's great that you're still wearing clothes you sewed several years ago! That's the best kind of sewing, in my opinion: things that are worn regularly and for a long time. I'd be happy to wear almost everything I sewed in 2013 and 2014 but none of it fits anymore :(

    1. Thanks Masha! I agree. I also have lots of things I love that no longer fit. It always makes me sad.

  2. In 2016 I was good about reviewing older makes but not at all in 2017. I hope to do so this year!

    My oldest still regularly worn make is a M6519 top from April 2013.

    1. That's awesome Nakisha! I'd be interested to see what you still wear, you always make the cutest things!

  3. That's a great idea to show the older makes that are withstanding the test of time! Mostly for me those are the Jalie patterns. I tend to make a lot of repeats of those too.

    1. Thanks Shirley! It's funny to see what will last and what won't. I would have never thought I'd still be wearing the red animal print one because it's not my style, yet is a fav!
