Best of 2021

December 29, 2021 By A Spoonful of Sugar - Leave a Comment

2021 has been another year filled with a mix of highs and lows, challenges and opportunities. I have found that crafty pursuits such as sewing and crochet have helped me with mindfulness and learning new skills, and were a welcome reprieve from everything going on in the world around us. One of my highlights this year was setting up my own Pattern Store, in addition to my Etsy Shop. Although I work full time in a demanding role, I found time to design 14 new sewing patterns and have plenty more ideas in mind for future patterns. I am looking forward to a creative 2022.

My top nine patterns designed in 2021 are showcased in the collage above M new range includes a mix of pouches and coasters/mugrugs. It seems more people are turning to DIY in these uncertain times and enjoying making projects. Nothing beats making handmade gifts that are original and one of a kind.

I really appreciate every purchase, review, comment and like I have received over the year. The sewing community is such a supportive one and I love being part of it.

Here is a roundup of my top 2021 new release patterns.
