New Years Resolutions for Sewers
I saw this on a Tribe list, posted by Spiralgirl, who says it came from Fabric.com (but I couldn't locate the original posting there).
New Years Resolutions for Sewers
From Fabric.com...Enjoy!
- I will not add anything to the stash unless something comes out - not that I have room to add anything else.
- I will buy extra yardage of the main fabric because it’s inevitable that I will get close to the end and not have enough.
- I will buy fabric if I LOVE it. Hey, if I don’t buy it now it won’t be there when I need it and come back, right?
- I will not start a new project until I have finished the first project. No more half-finished quilts and skirts!
- I will read the instructions several times before I start a project. My seam ripper needs a break and my mouth could use some cleaning…
- I will do a test run of the quilt block or clothing [or embroidery] item I am making to be sure it looks how I planned BEFORE I start in on the expensive material.
- I will finally clean my sewing area and *sigh* throw away that stuff I haven’t needed in years.
- I will learn to love my pins and not just see them as an unnecessary step.
I was about to buy fabric I really didn't need just because it's on sale, and I've got projects I need to finish and others that must be done this winter, a sewing room to purge, and more... so I was glad to see this Resolution, and felt others might see them the same way.
