Everything I Made in 2023 | Sewing my Handmade Wardrobe

Here it is..every garment I sewed up in 2023!


My wardrobe is at a fabulous point now! And it only took a decade of sewing! But really, I do feel like the last few years as my knowledge of fabric and technical skill level has increased my sewing has gotten quite successful. Getting dressed in the morning is finally fun and easy! I love the pieces I added to my wardrobe this year. After my winter sewing is done, I should have an amazing- and cohesive- closet.

finding inspiration in Rebecca's journey. dealing with a broken ankle myself a few years back, her recovery story resonates. my path led me to Aspect Health, not pushing it, just sharing. sewing has become therapeutic; her creations are impressive. always curious about others' creative outlets. proud of her accomplishments in 2023!

Rebecca, I really enjoyed seeing everything you made last year. Your garments are lovely!. I like seeing what you're making. It's helping me figure out a new Florida wardrobe. My husband and I have moved here from Missouri so it's been hard figuring out what kind of wardrobe works here year round. I'm used to living in an environment that swings from one end of the temperature spectrum to the other.If's been a challenge! Can't wait to see what you make this year.

Wow amazing makes and great taste in patterns and colours

So many lovely makes ❤ I especially loved the vest and the trouses. Happy new sewing year! God bless ❤️

[ellenrayani]

I enjoy looking at all your makes. Your vids are inspiring. I watch them as I sew as well. Thanks for sharing!

[blufaerie]

Wow, Rebecca, you sewed a lot of amazing garments! I love that Barbie swimsuit, great work on that pattern matching.

Hello Rebecca love all your makes! Clearing off the table to sew for a February trip to FL. Need more knit tops and a skirt. Attempting to work towards a mostly self made wardrobe! You have inspired me to think outside the box regarding silhouettes and colors. I do needlepoint and enjoy how you have incorporated into your fashion! Great videos and thanks for many ideas.

Cara, I love your idea of fostering friendships within the sewing community. I also have taken a leap to reconnect with my college roommates. Last fall I contacted them both and we've met a few times since. It's been so good to see them again. I just don't know how 30 years slipped by so quickly while we were content with Christmas and birthday cards! My husband and I were in London in August, 2022, but I hadn't "met" any of my British sewing friends yet.Now every time we talk about returning to England, I'm always wondering how I could possibly meet up with some of my newfound "friends" in person.😂 I do intend to check out the virtual sewcial in the near future.

Beautiful makes. I too have not bought any clothing since June 2020 when I bought several dresses for a wedding. You inspire me as to what is possible to make yourself.

[KathyinKentuckyUSA]

Well done! I watched the entire video and will watch some of your previous videos. from, Kathy in Kentucky

[tammymasson]

I really enjoyed this round up video! I like looking back at a year's makes to see what I've accomplished and learned along the way. It's easy to not be aware when I'm in the midst of it all.

[marysmith]

The linen poppy print dress is my favorite of all your items! ❤

[rebekahclay]

Love to see your work! Rebeccas tend to be elegant

[jsd]

Love the makes. Where did you get the rack the clothes are hanging on?

[ZeldaSews]

Hi Rebecca! I love that you put your first name in front of your title. Shall do people know who you are? Because they definitely need to know who you are.😅😅😅 I have not bought any ready to wear garments since I started sewing. You may so many beautiful garments! I look forward to seeing what you do this year.

Greetings from the Netherlands. Thank you for sharing. It inspires me to continue sewing (with so little time). Do you have the patterns for the pink linen pants?

[betsygoicuria]

I love your style! You inspire me to start sewing. Your black travel plants are amazing! What pattern did you use to make them or are they self drafted?

[silke]

Beautiful garments! I love the black travel pant. Where can I find the video/pattern :) I have tried to find it in your monthly makes but maybe I overlooked them

[friendoflife]

Love your style! 🥀So happy for your recovery!🌺 Looks like you are using alot of rayon? or is it polyester?

[lovesport]

the summer outfits look so nice and really suite you, also looks like you lost weight
