I've already started on some of these goals and have had moderate success. Writing these down again should serve as reinforcement. My goals are: **30 minutes a day in sewing studio **Do better job of sewing studio organization/upkeep/cleanup (cutting table is NOT to be used as dumping ground for 'I'll put that away later' items from all over the house! **Stay more connected here For garment sewing: *Use stash fabric and patterns. *Take hard look at current wardrobe. Trash and replace faded, stained, ill-fitting garments. (How many gardening t-shirts does one woman really need?) *Sew outfits/capsules, not 'orphan' garments that just hang around not being worn *Don't buy ready-made unless it is something that I cannot make. *Take time as I'm sewing and enjoy the process, not just rush through to get a finished garment Non-garment sewing: *Complete one block a month on Out of the Darkness quilt *Work on backlog of quilting and embroidery UFO's ------ Karen Yards in stash: I don't want to know! 2013 yards sewn: 1 2013 yards bought: 5

(does anyone else find the year 2013 uninspiring? Thirteen sounds so much like something I'd just like to get over with, not to mention that everything seems to be going to he** in a handcart.) I suppose I ought to to get these together:- 1. Two UFO jackets, gathering dust for way over a year each 2. Re-organise ze blog (or I should probably say, organise it) I'd like to (warming to theme now):- 1. Make a dress a month 2. Work up some ideas for appliqués I have in sketch form 3. Draft some patterns to sell 4. Get a few competition entries done in time to enter ------ so many patterns, clamouring to be sewn http://patternpandemonium.wordpress.com/

I rarely achieve them completely, but I do think they move me forward, which is a bit of a success, IMO. So, my sewing goals for 2013 are: 1. Reduce my fabric stash so it fits into the designated storage space. 2. Develop a TNT pattern for a woven dress and a shirt. 3. Learn how to modify and adapt my TNT patterns to reflect current styles. 4. Sew more garments that make me feel stylish. 5. Use that bra kit that's languishing in the drawer. 6. Clear out ALL UFOs. 7. Refrain from purchasing any fabric or patterns unless there is an absolute NEED (not just a burning desire, and DEFINITELY not just because it's a 'bargain'). 8. Write reviews to document any modifications and alterations to patterns That's a lot, but I don't think (with the exception of the first one) any of them are ridiculously unachievable. Now I just need to put this list where I see it all the time and am reminded of my commitments. ------ Kelley (Brisbane, QLD) http://simplesewist.blogspot.com.au/
