Goals
I'm not really setting any definite goals
for sewing this upcoming year. I'm not sure how many energy I will have
for sewing when I return to work and don't want to create any pressure
on myself to do anything specific.
That being said I do have some things I would like to try in the next year.
1. Trousers/pants
Trousers
that I can wear to work, that are almost as comfortable as jeans but
aren't. I'm on the search for a trousers pattern that has a higher rise
in the back, slim fitting through the upper leg and has the option of a
straight leg at the bottom. If you know of one like that let me know
or tell me you favourite trouser pattern. I do have the Thurlow Trouser
from Sewaholic to try.
2. Bras
I've been
wearing nursing bras for so long now I don't have any regular bras that
fit anymore. I was going to go and buy myself a really properly fitted
expensive bra but then I saw a bra making class on Craftsy, which I
bought instead and the fabric to make myself several bras.
3. Button up shirts
I
had decided that I don't like button up shirts but after making some
non-buttoning blouses (Natalie Top) I've come the the conclusion that
it's not the button up part that bothers me it's that for me to get a
nice fitting shirt around the bust area it is usually really snug on my
arms. I'm interested in trying to make an Archer and the new pattern from Sewaholic.
4. Capsule Wardrobe
I
started thinking about/making things to fit into a capsule wardrobe. I
really like the idea of a capsule wardrobe. Sometimes I feel I have
way too much clothing. I'm going to continue to try and make garments
that will fit together.
5. Blog
I think I will
continue to blog. I'm treating it more like a journal because I think
only about 5 people read this, including my wonderful mother-in-law.
It's more challenging than I realized to take pictures, get good
pictures, edit the pictures and then write a blog post.
