Hello friends!
2014 is coming to an end and what better way to celebrate the coming year than to look back on the dresses I made this year!
Georgina suggested on Facebook that I share a post with a 2014 dress mosaic and I thought it would be a great idea. I started this year a little slow as I was in a sewing/blogging slump, but apparently I got back in the groove as shown by my dress sewing this year. Dresses are my favorite garments to make and wear, so yes, I’m always wanting to make MORE and 2015 will surely have even more. 🙂

January 13, 2015 at 5:49 amGosh, you made some beautiful dresses this year! That third row on the left one is particularly stunning. That fabric! I bet I commented the same when you post it, but hey, it’s a new year!

You’re my dress sewing hero! 🙂

All best for this year!!

January 7, 2015 at 9:55 amHi Gabriela! I love that dress, too, although I’ve only worn it once. I guess I’m just not a shift dress kinda gal.

January 1, 2015 at 8:56 pmGorgeous! There are several I’ve got my eye on to copy when I get around to it. Here’s to 2015!

January 1, 2015 at 1:50 pmYou always make the best dresses and look amazing in them. Still in awe of your beautiful horror film fabric dress and your turquoise flowery Moneta. Thanks for sharing our beautiful makes and wishing you all the best for 2015! xxxx

January 2, 2015 at 7:28 pmThank you!!! Those are two of my favorites as evidenced by how often they’ve been in rotation! 🙂

December 31, 2014 at 4:44 pmOh…look at all the pretty dresses! You are one creative gal. I mentioned you in my 2014 recap today. Hope you don’t mind, but I stole a pic from you too!

December 31, 2014 at 1:18 pmGah! So many gorgeous dresses. And so much color. Looking forward to seeing more goodness in 2015.
tanyamaile says
January 2, 2015 at 7:30 pmThank you, Qui!! I don’t think that I’ve met many colors that I don’t like. I actually have gone through my closet to see what is lacking! 🙂
Kelly says
December 31, 2014 at 10:36 amOh my, they were great on their own, but it’s amazing to see them all together! What a wonderful collection you have! None is quite as good as that black flowered one, though…
tanyamaile says
January 2, 2015 at 7:31 pmThanks, Kelly!!! I wear the black floral one all the time (actually wearing right now!), but unfortunately it got relegated to an home dress as the Girl Charlee knit faded and pilled with the first wash…. I guess I need to find something similar with a better quality fabric to make another!
Kelly says
January 4, 2015 at 4:13 pmWell, that’s a good one too, but NO! That fabric mart silk dress! With the giant gorgeous flowers! That’s the dress of my dreams 🙂
tanyamaile says
January 4, 2015 at 4:48 pmOh yes!!! The fabric you should have bought!!! 🙂
Roxanne Guillemette says
December 31, 2014 at 10:30 amOoh! Lots of rich colors and great florals. You had a very good sewing year and it is really inspiring. 🙂
tanyamaile says
January 2, 2015 at 7:32 pmThank you, Rox!!! You didn’t do too bad yourself this last year either! Cheers!

December 31, 2014 at 9:32 amSuch a wonderful array of dress gorgeousness! You always inspire me with your makes. Here’s to a new year full of sewing inspiration. X

January 2, 2015 at 7:32 pmThank you, T! I have to tell you that you have inspired me so much with your creative sewing and photography!! So glad I’ve “met” you this last year!
Leslie Gray says
December 31, 2014 at 9:18 amThat’s an awesome look back. You accomplished so many great dresses. Thank you for sharing and a very Happy New Year to you.
tanyamaile says
January 2, 2015 at 7:33 pmThanks, Leslie!!! I hope to accomplish more this year. I think every year gets better, especially as I am pickier now about fabrics than I was a few years ago and am always looking for something special. Happy 2015! 🙂

December 31, 2014 at 9:17 amWow! You started 2014 in a slump and you have this many dresses? You are fast! I love all of your dresses! They’re so bright, cheery, and colorful! Hope you have a happy new year!
tanyamaile says
January 2, 2015 at 7:35 pmThanks, Kathy!! I actually made a couple more — but haven’t got around to photographing them yet. 🙂 Happy New Year!

December 31, 2014 at 9:06 amSo many gorgeous dresses. I love the bright colours you pick 🙂 Have a great 2015!
tanyamaile says
January 2, 2015 at 7:35 pmThank you, Elaine! I don’t think I’ve met too many colors that I haven’t found a shade to love! Happy 2015!
Nita Dances says
December 31, 2014 at 8:32 amThat’s a lot of dresses! Very cool to see them all together like that. The Monettas are my favourite 🙂
tanyamaile says
January 2, 2015 at 7:36 pmThe Monetas are my favorite to make and wear, even if they aren’t as “interesting” as woven dresses. 🙂 I love seeing them in this mosaic!
Georgina Isabel says
December 31, 2014 at 8:24 amThis is fantastic! It’s great to see all your projects at once. You’ve worked on an enviable wardrobe in 2014! I can’t wait to see what’s to come in 2015. Thank you so much for the inspiration <3
