2008 was the year of the skirt. Safe, flat, fun and rewarding. Also rather quick to make. Now that I’m comfortable sewing in linings and invisible zippers, I think it’s time to up the ante just a bit this year. Not only do I want to continue to experiment with drafting my own patterns, but I also want to start exploring structure as well as drapery.
Aspirations for 2009:
- Tackle the Full Bust Alteration (FBA) once and for all
- Make more clothing for Cliff
- Sew classic garments that are appropriate for work
- Take a serger class at the local craft studio
- Finish one project per month
- Figure out what slopers are and how to eventually make them
- Incorporate sewing into my painting, or painting into my sewing
- Consistently sew straight seams
- Last but certainly not least, to buy handmade products whenever possible
