2008 Goals:
One of my goals for 2008 was to make at least 2 garments a month followed by their reviews. I mostly accomplished that for part of the year, but fell short by October when I came down with the nasty 6-week bug.
I do feel I can still accomplish that goal. I still have the rest of December to go with the last two weeks devoted to sewing. Yes, I will have to hold off taking my SM in for maintenance.
Another goal was to learn a new hobby. That was in the form of knitting.
And yet another goal was to share my sewing experiences via the Internet or through hands-on teaching.
My Accomplishments for 2008:
- Started my own sewing blog
- Became a sewing educator
- Made a pair of pants and several pairs of shorts. Still have some fitting issues to address.
- Bought my first BWOF subscription.
- Received my 3rd star at PatternReview.com
- Expanded my fabric, pattern, and notions stash by a lot
- Featured on Lazy Girl Designs’ blog
- Learned to knit and master the knit and purl stitches. Even took on the cable stitch.
- Learned to take better pictures. Practice makes perfect. Took over 5,000 pictures this year.
- Became a Mac user.
2009 Goals:
- Sew more of my clothes and stop spending money on RTW.
- Work on getting a good pair of pants to fit. This will help with the first goal.
- Make a coat
- Fine tune a hobby. Learn to play an instrument really well.
- Sew a guitar case (well, I could try)
- Sew down my fabric stash and limit new fabric purchases.
- Knit and crochet more to reduce my yarn stash...so I can buy more yarn.
I am sure I will be adding more to my 2009 goals list because I am constantly thinking of more fun things to learn and do.
