Resurfacing ..,

My goodness, I been totaling neglecting my blog.  I've been Facebooking, Instagramming, and sewing; but no blogging :-(

I've missed it..,  as blogging helps catalog and organize my sewing projects as well as sharing my sewing experiences with you.

Anyway, today I want to talk a little about one of my goals for 2017 sewing.  BTW my goal list is a work in progress.   Just so you know and the list is growing.  My wardrobe is in need of some stripes.  During my mini spring wardrobe purge, I noticed I don't have very many striped garments. Next, I went to my sewing room and pull out several yardages of striped fabrics; then ordered a few more from Mood's online store.

Now that I have the goods on the cutting table, I need to decide what to make.  Of course, I need more help, right?  After searches the web and my pattern collection tons of ideas are dancing in my head.  Some I will post.  But, I know for sure, there are some button down shirts in my very near future.  Pictured above are half of my striped fabrics.

Happy Sewing!

Thoughts on Sewing for the Year 2012

Quality - that's my main goal.  Yes, to get as close to perfect as possible.

Every year I talk about quality vs. quantity. Am I achieving this goal? Sometimes. And other times, I get in a hurry to finish. That's when the quality diminishes. It's little things only recognized by me.

Much of my improved skill in sewing can be attributed to my fellow sewing, blogging friends who show a technique or express a thought about how to better execute construction techniques. So I'm constantly learning from you and other sewing related resources.


The List:

• Reduce the fabric stash. Use what I already have to get it to a manageable level. I'm starting to forget what's already in the fabric collection.
• Sew more Burda. I have years of magazines and patterns to chose from.
• Sew Rhonda Buss designs. She designed several patterns last year that I want to try.
• Spend some time sewing with my mom. Last year I thought about this, but didn't do it. She sews at her house and I at mine. We need to have a few meet ups.
• Learn and try a few more sewing techniques. I like hand sewing and would like to try a few more couture techniques.
• Make a Chanel jacket.
• Make a Cadena inspired outfit.
• Learn to make gloves (January 25th).

That's the short of it. We're already ten days into the new year.  It's pass time to get it started.
