Itch to Stitch: 12 months, 12 dresses COMPLETED!

 

Wouldn't it be great to commit to making one thing a month? said a friend at  Heart to Homestead . Little did Sue know that I would take the challenge and actually complete it. It's really not a lofty goal, I promise.  Just making a little time for that which you want to do every month is totally do-able if you're interested!  Just working 15 minutes here and there for a whole month and you'll end up with a finished product in no time.  It's easy to let life, family, other hobbies and work get in the way, but it doesn't have to be the case if you wiggle a little time here and there.

I'm super excited how many homemade dresses my little girl has now. She had a couple I made before this challenge, but now she has even more!  I love making little girl dresses, as they are forgiving and will fit for some time, and they can turn into a shirt later on.  All of these dresses were made from patterns I was gifted or bought at the thrift store.  There's only one dress that I bought the fabric new-the rest are either upcycled (many from wool) or from fabric from a thrift store.  My little girl has a bigger wardrobe now and it cost next to nothing. 

Anyway, here's the challenge and the link to all the dresses.


Dress one: Here.
Dress two: Here.
Dress three: Here
Dress four: Here.
Dress five: Here.
Dress six: Here.
Dress seven: Here.
Dress eight: Here.
Dress 9
Dress 10
Dress 11
Dress 12

And here they are, all 12 of them!

Dress 1, 2, 3, 4
 Dress 5, 6, 7, 8

Dress 9, 10, 11, 12
 I think it's pretty neat to watch her grow. 12 dresses, 12 months...she's growing up in mama mades.











12 months, 12 completed projects.  Now this project is complete, I ponder another 12 month project.  What should I commit doing every month for the next year?  What would you pick?
