Best Nine 2016
I did my “best nine” on Instagram last year and had fun seeing which were the nine most popular posts again this year. I decided to write a quick blog post with links to original posts (if I made them). I used this site to find mine; it was quick and easy.
From top left to right:
The Great Canadian Craftsy Bag Tour
I made this Hanging Cosmetics Organizer from the Craftsy Class Sew Sturdy Travel Organizers. Read more about the class and my review here.
Jackie McFee Swoon Dallas
I haven’t blogged this yet, but I made a Swoon Dallas for Jackie McFee for her new fabric line to display at Quilt Market a couple months back. The new collection is called My Gray or the Highway, and it will be available this summer. I’ll post more about it around its release date.
Sweet Talk
I made this bag from the Sweet Talk pattern from Sara Lawson’s second book. You can read all about it, including the amazing glitter vinyl I used, in this post!
Sakuro Clutch from One Thimble
I tried out a pattern from the latest issue of One Thimble: the Sakuro Clutch. I also used cork for the first time. Check out this post for all the details.
Fabric Weaving
I think this is the favourite thing I learned this year. I can’t wait to do more in 2017. I used a bit of this weave as a feature in the Sakuro clutch, but you’ll find out soon what I used the rest in. Check out my post explaining the process here.
Heidi Foldover Clutch
I used some of my precious Tula Pink Saltwater collection for this free Swoon pattern. I didn’t blog this one, but you can get the free PDF here.
Cat Lady 241 Tote
|
I didn’t blog this one either! I made a Noodlehead 241 Tote for a cat-loving friend. I used Cat Lady from Sarah Watts for both exterior and lining of the bag. This pattern never disappoints!

1k giveaway
I celebrated 1000 followers on Instagram with a giveaway. If you aren’t on Instagram, check it out for oodles of inspiration.

I made a Maker’s Tote for an Instagram swap, and before I could share the tote on Instagram, I showed a picture of an extra I included in the swap: a cup cozy with some out of print Sarah Jane fabric I really love. you can read more about the tote here, and download a copy of the free PDF pattern for the cup cozy here.

There you have it! I hope next year is even more exciting. Thanks for making it a great one! Read my previous post to see what I have planned for 2017.
