Sewing Goals for 2015

[mala_14]

I spent a lot of 2014 trying out new techniques like handsewn buttonholes and bust padding. I'd like to continue that trend, but I also have a couple of other goals that I'd like to accomplish in 2015:

1. Be productive and make something to wear. No more just making undergarments! My focus is on making things to wear over them. Complete outfits!
2. Focus

Thanks! The new year always gets me so motivated. Makes me want to Sew All The Things!

This is a great list! A lot of it's really about stepping up your costumes a little, making them more real, which I think we can all get behind. Good luck!

Thanks! I find that my friendslist is getting very detail-oriented and it's inspiring me. :)

Great goals, good luck! Accessories REALLY make an outfit, and luckily there are great sources to buy or make your own, or search local antique stores (sometimes you can find a FAB deal)...seriously, a great sash, a proper sized hat, a lovely reticule, a beautiful shawl, and etc, not only totally useful when you're out and about in costume, but will TOTALLY make an outfit, so those details are a great goal to have! :)

Thanks! So true! I love seeing other people's accessories and the great effect they have on the whole picture. I want to be like that too!
