I'm interrupting my gift posts to talk about my goals for this year. As with last year, these aren't things that I absolutely have to do or else, just things I want to keep in mind. Before I start listing the things I want to accomplish this year, lets see how I did last year.
1. Draft a new sloper, and get this one to fit right. -Done!
2. Make a princess-seam version of the sloper. -Done!
3. Make this top with my stretch lace fabric. -Nope, didn't finish this one.
4. Find a solution to my disorganized fabric supply. -Sort of done... I at least have the fabric in bins now instead of half-folded in piles.
5. Make a fitted dress for myself from woven fabric. -Done! I actually made two, but the nursing dress is the one I'm most pleased with.
6. Make a dress for Booper from formal fabrics. -Done! Thanks to my brother getting married last year Booper needed a flower girl dress.
7. Sew a few unique knit tops for myself. -Done! I ended up making 5... sadly, though, 2 of the 5 had problems that mean I never wear them, and the fabric on one developed tiny holes all over.
8. Learn how to create PDF patterns. -I'm actually learning this right now... but not quite done.
9. Sew casual sweaters/ jackets for both girls. -Almost half-done, I made a sweater for Booper. Although I never did finish the buttonholes on that.
10. Make a hoodie for my husband. -Didn't finish this one, though I do have the fabric for it now.
11. Sew more with fabric I already own. -I think about half of the things I made last year were with fabric I already had, which is definitely better than before.
12. Learn how to tailor my husband's clothes, especially his pants. -Didn't finish this either, although I did make him a shirt.
13. Find something I really love making to sell. -Still working on it. =) I found a few things I like making, but I have yet to actually make some just for selling.
14. Sew myself a circle skirt with a fun trim detail and horsehair braid. -I didn't finish this one, even though it was the simplest of the bunch. I'm nervous to use the expensive horsehair braid.
That's 6 out of 14 fully completed, and 4 halfway finished. Not too bad, considering that I only expected to actually finish 3 or 4. =)
So for this year, some of the goals will roll over.... I still want to:
1. Make a hoodie for my husband.
2. Make this top with my stretch lace fabric.
3. Learn how to create PDF patterns.
4. Find something I really love making to sell, or more specifically now, actually make them.
5. Sew myself a circle skirt with a fun trim detail and horsehair braid.
I would also like to:
6. Host a giveaway
7. Make more unique knit tops, for myself and the daughters.
8. Finally sew the dress my husband designed for me 4 years ago.
9. Sew at least 2 skirts for each of my daughters.
10. Continue improving my photography.
As with last year, I may come back and add to this list. =)
What about you? Are there any goals you want to keep in mind this year?
