2021 was the year that I REALLY started to explore how to sew my dream wardrobe. So I thought it could be fun to look back and try on everything I made over the past 12 months and talk through the process whether it was DIY'd from scratch or upcycled from thrifted pieces along with my learnings and tips in case you feel inspired to adding it to your own me-made list!
Going through these and reflecting on what's come to life this past year made me So happy and excited for what's yet to come!
Would love to hear if you have a favourite from the 2021 collection x
