A little bit of this, a dash of that ...

Still no activity on the sewing front, BUT:

1. The fabric stash is now neat. Everything has been folded and put into storage bins and nothing has been left strewn in a threatening-to-topple pile. Now if only the magic cleaning fairies would come and help clear up the notions and patterns too. LOL!!!

2. I have not bought new fabric ... and WILL NOT PURCHASE new fabric until the existing fabric gets sewn up.

3. Instead of being wildly and irrationally ambitious, my sewing and blogging goals will be modest for a start:
- sew a twirly dress for the darling little monkey
- sew myself a simple "buffet" dress (one of those flowy numbers with no darts)
- write a blog post at least once a week

Once the sewing gets back into some sort of regular momentum, then I'd really like to accomplish a few things this year, such as:
- learning more about fit and how to adjust patterns so that clothes look and fall right on my body (ie. dealing with my broad back, tummy pooch and swayback)
- inserting an invisible zip the correct way every single time
- inserting linings

That's it! Wish me luck :-)
