Sewing Goals for 2024
It was nice to take a break from YouTube for a while and just focus on family and my goals for sewing and life in this new year. That holiday period is always a good time to slow down, take stock of what work and what didn’t work and focus on new goals. That is exactly what I did, and I actually did a LOT of sewing. I sewed a pair of Hudson pants (which I adjusted a ALOT as I wanted a different view) and I worked on making a lot of t-shirts in addition to testing a pattern for an indie pattern company.
Sewing Goals for the year….
Use my pattern stash. It’s a good pattern stash and also curate / get rid of the patterns that have no snowball chance of being made.
Post more sew alongs in the channel. Last year I was working on Sew Alongs for Minerva (who I love) but I think that doing six in a row did burned me out to a crisp when it came to sew alongs. It would be nice to do some sew alongs for the channel but also try to tackle some of those harder patterns like those Vogue or Burda patterns.
Mending, adjust or upcycle some of the garments I have made. Some things need to get adjusted as I have changed in size and I must say I love some of the fabrics I’ve used so I really want to try my best to use what I have vs. make more. Or perhaps rework some of my husband dress shirts into a shirt for me, the fabrics are amazing and I know I can make a button down shirt for myself with them vs. tossing them.
Post more of my makes for the month. Even if it’s three things! I want to post more.
So what are your sewing goals for the year? Is it to do a better job with finishes? Tackle a lined coat pattern? Get better at fitting? So many things to improve don’t try to do them all, just pick one or two and focus on that.
Cheers to the new year!
