I made HOW MANY garments in 2020?! | Vintage Sewing Extravaganza

Wow! I couldn’t believe it when I sat down and made a list of everything I made in 2020. It’s been the most productive sewing year of my life, and for that, I’m grateful. Let me do a little sew and tell for you, which will include a brief pattern review for each project and a link to each pattern and fabric (if they’re still available). Let the vintage sewing extravaganza commence!
