Feel The Fear


I have been thinking long and hard about 2006 sewing accomplishments and
looking back at completed projects.

It strikes me that I only made a handful of pieces out of woven fabric in
2006. The bulk of my sewing utilized knits although I am happy to say I did
range from power dry to chenille. I have a wide variety of garments to show for it but perhaps I fear wovens?

I think most sewists learn wovens first.
Not me.
I am fearless with knits.
Plus I learned how to make my own undies and I've mastered the art of squeezing a top & matching undies out of 1.25 yards of onionskin.

That's ROCKIN'

Okay, so I'm a bit too proud of that LOL

2007 sewing goals include tackling underlining, lining, collars, plackets,
welt pockets and wovens. Tailored pieces. Challenging myself for sure.

I am going to switch up my style this year and pull together a better and
polished everyday look. Of course, working from my home office and running
around to soccer games doesn't warrant posh finery, but at least I'll be one Bad Mommy.

I am going to live 2007 by the HotPatterns motto,
"Feel The Fear & Do It Anyway..."

Yeah! I see many muslins in my future...

This is going to be a great year!
