DIY HIGHLIGHTS OF 2012

I can’t find the words to say how amazing 2012 has been, so I thought instead I would share with you my favourite projects. I’ve always been better at expressing my feelings through DIY anyway, so what better way to reflect on the year than to take a walk down the crafty memory lane that is ap&as? Although I love each and every one of the projects that ends up on this blog (a few don’t make the cut you’ll be happy to know), the ones below have become staples in my wardrobe, pieces I can’t live without and plan on making multiples of in 2013. And when it comes down to it, it’s honestly you guys I have to thank for reading and encouraging my daily DIY efforts – you’ve helped me improve my skills and been a never ending source of inspiration, so thank you.  Here’s to an amazing and DIY filled 2013!

I’m currently busy planning so many things for next year and must ask, is there anything you want to see more of in 2013? Sewing? Accessories? Techniques? Outfits? Fire away!
