Time waits for no one. Before you know it several weeks have past. We are already in the third week of January. Wow. I started writing this post over two weeks ago. But I got so distracted and didn't finish it until today. I was determined to get back to blogging and talking about my sewing adventures. At the end of 2020, I was anxiously anticipating the new year. I'm so thankful to be able to do the things that bring me joy. And sewing is one of my most precious gifts from God. It brings me a lot of pleasure to create things. I'm happy to spend hours in my creative space.
So I've been reflecting on 2020 and planning for 2021. Last year I made about 665 of masks and 88 caps and bonnets. This Covid-19 sewing took up a large portion of my sewing time. I was happy to do it. I donated more than half of what I made and the rest I sold. Additionally, for myself I managed to make 44 garments and accessories and 21 for others. I'm still happy with most of the things that I made for myself. Looking forward my sewing goals are pretty much the same as last year. I will continue to work on jackets and coats. About mid-way 2020 I started mini wardrobe capsule based on my color palette. I'll continue with that series. There are a few UFO's in the plan as well. Rhonda and I have another cargo challenge. This one includes a jacket and pants. Finally, I'll hope to continue with the blouse/shirt project.
I have a beautiful new planner to help me keep track my activities and tasks. One that allows me to list events and journal about them. This is great for me. This year, I ended up with two planners: one was a gift and the other I purchased a few months ago. My favorite is the gifted journal which I'll use for 2021. I gave the second one to my DD.
During my blogging break, I did quite a lot of sewing, mostly gifts. I'll post them and my reviews along with a few projects for me. This ends my first blog post of 2021. I hope everyone is off to a great start to a productive year.
Happy Sewing and Happy New Year!
