Well, it looks like many sewing bloggers are sharing their plans and goals for the upcoming year. I think that sounds like a good idea -- in thinking about what I want to accomplish, and joining challenges to encourage me to keep sewing this year, I have found that I'm getting lots more done!
So I'm going to continue this focus in 2014. My goals are:
1. Continue with the Make a Garment a Month challenge, and use some of my pattern and fabric stash that way!
2. Learn new techniques -- try patterns that aren't always 'easy' for me
3. Following from the point above, I'd like to take a class or two this year to learn correct techniques and tips for improving my skills.
4. Reduce my pattern and fabric buying and USE UP some of what I now have. I'm not going to ban myself from buying something new but will try to be more mindful of what I already have.
Once I finish my December dress for the MGM challenge I'll be jumping right in with some of these new directions too. Lots to do in 2014!
I love the little picture! Like you, I too have found blogging a good way of both focusing on my sewing goals, and improving my sewing - so I'd like to wish you good will with your goals here, and lots of us will be sewing along with you :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration, and I do hope that you meet your sewing goals as well in 2014!
Deleteoh-- and I think I found this pic on the flickr stream of the British Library
DeleteI like your 2014 goals and agree that joining a challenge helps keep one more focused. Good Luck on achieving your dreams and goals for next year!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa! Yes, having a deadline seems to help my sewing habit :)
