Last year I tried to give myself a little challenge for 2012, and I failed miserably for various reasons. I won't go into detail why but I am learning with my sewing and goals. This coming year I have some goals planned but I will not expose them until I have completed them except this one which is a variation on this year's challenge and that is to try and use fewer patterns. Why? you might ask would I want to limit myself when there are so many wonderful styles out there.
- Firstly, FITTING I hate it, it takes up so much of my precious time, and when you have a large family to manage personal time is extremely precious.
- Secondly I just want to be able to lay my pattern down and take my time and make a beautiful garment that flatters me.
- Thirdly , patternmaking, its a goal of mine to learn it so why not try to use it more on simple patterns and create new styles myself and not be a slave to the pattern companies, I mean most of what the pattern companies put out are just variations from a sloper.
- Fourthly, its not cheap or as easy anymore, back home in America it was but not here.
- Fifthly I just want to sew (yes I know I already said this one).
- I seem to be attracted to same patterns anyway.
- I hate the idea of becoming an old woman with a hoarding problem and nothing to show for it.
- I just want to sew.
- I just want to sew.
- I JUST WANT TO SEW.
\Okay you get the picture, anyway I'm not going to restrict myself that is just asking for failure but I am going to try and keep the patterns to a minimum. All other goals will be reveiled as I complete them.
Until next time, happy sewing...
