I'm proud of two recent ones, for very different reasons. One is the group of 16 aprons I made (lightweight denim) for a volunteer program we're involved in. We cook and serve meals to the needy at a church, and the aprons are looking very sad. It is great to see us all in nice, clean, tidy aprons, all with pockets.

The second one is a Sandra Betzina pattern I recently made--it is her jean jacket type short jacket with lots of topstitching. Many parts, quite a bit of work. I made it out of tan organic cotton twill with matching topstitching so that I could wear it with jeans. Most of the last 30 years I have rushed through projects so that I would have them to wear quickly, unlike when I was a teen and experimenting and taking the time needed to do it right and learn along the way. That's what I did with this jacket. Fits great, looks great, and I love it. Perfect!
