For me, the Friday Pattern Company Donny Shirt.  I wasn't drawn to this pattern at all, but was intrigued by the popularity of it.  I had just over a metre of fabric I wasn't sure what to do with and looked ideal for this pattern.  I really enjoyed the whole process of making this, fits great and the fabric turned out to be the perfect choice.  Now I understand why it's so popular and I have 2 more lined up now.

Ah I love that! I have to admit it isn't one I've been drawn to myself, but I do love all the versions I've seen on other people

The Quinn Vest/Dress bij True Bias looks beautiful. Would love to make that this year.

O, and I would love to make The Revel Topper from Sew House Seven! Looks so stylish and comfortable at the same time. I love the collar on this one. Would make this in a drapey viscose with the wide sleeves.

Probably a cotton or viscose  (blend?) print. I also bought one of their older patterns, the Hinterland dress. It is probably more everyday than the Ember. I'll be making up both of them and hopefully show you in the "Makes" forum.
