These are rubbish photos but I have just finished my last #garmentsewing make of 2025, so I thought they would be good for this week’s #SewAndTell theme of 2025 reflections and 2026 resolutions! Vogue coat in raspberry Shetland wool

I decided to make another pattern from the Fellowship of the Knits book, using leftover wool (just ran out of teal at the very end!) #knitsky 🧶

This week’s #SewAndTell theme is upcycling - this jacket is made of fabric samples that were going to be disposed of when my work moved offices (obviously I had to rescue them!). The buttons are made of vintage fabric, bought in Hay-on-Wye #garmentsewing

I’ve never had a yarn advent calendar so was a bit stumped for this week’s #ShowMeYourKnits. This baby cardi used up lots of mini quantities of Shetland wool though, so maybe it could count? 🧶
