Fabric:
- Track usage
- More out than in
- Use up large scraps, throw out the rest
- Work more with wovens than in previous years (This will be an instinctual measure as I don't have any data on which to gauge my success.)
Patterns:
- Use my Sure Fit Designs kits - at least once each
- Use at least 10 stash patterns that have never seen the light of day

| One pattern of many that I have wanted to make for a long time. |
Craftsy:
- Watch all unwatched Craftsy classes (and sew the associated projects!). Sewing with Silks is the next one on my list. I love Craftsy and find the video lessons interesting and useful, for the most part.
Budget:
- Don't really have a budget for sewing, so I'd like to track my spending to see exactly how much I do spend on my hobby
Habits:
- This is my really lofty goal - to do something each day that moves an active project forward. Ideally, I'd like to spend around 30 minutes a day on my sewing, but that's probably a bit too unrealistic.
Other:
- I'd like to sew 4 things per month: a dress for me, finish a UFO, another garment for me and something for someone else (typically my daughter or husband).
- I'd like to document my sewing a little better this year. Getting photos for the blog is difficult (mainly because I'm too lazy to do my hair), so I'm not going to go there, but I am going to try really hard to keep my Sewing Notebook up to date.

Great goals Kelley - I can see this boosting your wardrobe really well. I am with you on sewing a frock a month. I also plan to sew more with wovens and rejig some items that I like but never wear. Happy 2015!
ReplyDeleteVery doable goals, Kelley.
ReplyDeleteWhile my blogging is atrocious, my sewing notebook is very well maintained. Just because I can't see where the fabric has disappeared from the stash, the evidence is there in black and white. Another upside is I no longer have any UFO's as I don't cut another garment until I've ticked off a finish date for those things already cut.
