At the beginning of 2010, the survey said that all of us had some goals to meet–goals we’d been sadly ignoring in years past. THIS is the year we tackle them. This page serves to help us channel and chart our progress as we work our way through the goals we’re hoping to accomplish this year! I’ll be adding regular blog posts linked to each of these goals, and checking in on you as we go. Pop quiz, anyone?
The categories YOU targeted as goals you’d like to tackle:
- Find (or make) enough time to sew
- Make more clothes for myself
- Stay motivated with a buddy, a reward, and inspiration from others
- Reduce and organize my stash of fabrics
- Tidy and beautify my sewing space
- Build skills and conquer new techniques so they never stand in the way of finishing a project
- Sew for others and give back with my needle
The categories below offer a range of links and tools for download and exploration as we attack these goals. As we go along, I’ll pass along ways to chart our progress, map out future months, and organize our assault on the sewing world!
