Top 5 of 2013
This is a tricky one… am I cheating if I have categories and post multiple makes?
I’ve hyperlinked all the images to the original posts – in case you want more pictures or details…
I’ve also created a Made-by-Me 2013 page where you can see all my makes…
BY HAND LONDON
I love all of these makes. The latest girl in the BHL Club has surfaced many many times this party season – with both heels and bare feet… Georgia is a go-anywhere girl… and seriously comfortable. I asked my husband if it was appropriate for an informal event… and he said “oh well I’ll just have to put up with having the hottest wife in the room again…” LOL I think that’s a good sign.
The new kid in town – Georgia from By Hand London
Elisalotte dress – a combination of the Charlotte Skirt and the Elisazlex bodice
The Sari Edition – By Hand London Victoria Blazer
Charlotte The Second: By Hand London
and my lovely Anna dresses… I love all these…
Anna Rose By Hand London – a girly girly dress
Anna Blue by the seaside. By Hand London
Jungle Anna – there’s that wild thigh slit… I finished it a little higher than Anna Roses… cos Jungle Anna is a wild girl…
MEGAN NIELSEN
Love both of these makes and wear them a lot!
Tania Culottes and the odd giraffe
Love this skirt! Megan Neilsen’s Cascade Skirt. Perfect perfect perfect fabric for this make.
GRAINLINE
It’s a recent love affair but I love the modern simplicity of Jen’s designs.
now I’m wondering if there is some halo graffiti around town somewhere….
Grainline Maritime Shorts in floral denim
Grainline Studio – Archer
It was extremely windy – so this looks more fitted than it is!
KNITTING
I re-taught myself to knit. All I can say is YouTube is a wonder! Of all my makes I adore Idlewood the most. Long, warm, casual AND it has a monster cowl.
Idlewood – taken after 36 hours of travel. I knitted the last four rows just after I landed!
Now THAT’S what I call a cowl!

MARIA DENMARK & VOGUE MASH-UP
I adore this pattern mash-up. I wear the blue dress a lot on the weekends.
And Clairy – she’s my kinda gal… I’ve worn her to Frocktails and to a work function.
In both versions I feel fabulous and I get loads of compliments.
My original Maria Denmark day-to-night top is also heavily worn.
Buy this pattern!

I’ve made lots of things I really like this year! I know – fatheaded of me but it’s true… so the honourable mentions go to…
Hot Mess Birthday Dress
Hot Mess Birthday Dress – I’ve worn this quite a lot. it’s easy to wear and the b/w scheme make it as classic – despite the craziness!
