1. New Sewing techniques. I would like to try more and use some of these feet I have for my sewing machine. Like ruching with elastic in my bobbin. Pin tucking. Sewing with the circular foot attachment.
2. Make 1 thing from each sewing book.
- Burda Style Sewing Handbook
- Thrifty Style
- 49 Sensational Skirts
- Generation T
- Custom Couture
- Pattern Magic
- Pattern Magic 2
- Pattern Magic Stretch Fabric
- Drape Drape 1
- Drape Drape 2

- Little Green Dresses
3. 99 Refashion Challenge. Oh yeah that is a lot of Refashions! But away I go! I have that many projects I can do!!!
4. Get my sewing patterns online at Pattern Review, which may take me all year!!!
5. Get rid of 1 more suitcase of fabric (preferably the big one with the broken wheel).
6. Get rid of 1 more box of bling (beads, sequins, etc)
7. Try at least 1 more knitting item. I did a scarf, I can totally do another scarf. But try and learn to purl. I'm cool with a scarf.
8. Make at least 2 recipes for my cookbooks. Or else toss.
9. 30 more sewing patterns
10. Convert my old tapes to DVD and condense my stuff!
11. Try 1 new thing this year I have never done before! I'm thinking trapeze school.... But open to other ideas!
12. Try to not buy anything else unless I need it. Seriously I have so much stuff!! Actually I have just signed up for the Ready to Wear Fast challenge at Goodbye Valentine. This entire year I intend to not purchase any store brought clothing (besides socks, underwear, and shoes), will either sew or refashion my clothing. Which I am totally fine with, actually I did this what 2 years ago? I highly enjoyed it and it spurred my creativity while I learned how to sew. It was great! I highly encourage.
13. Out of debt. I am so close. Pending a disaster we will do it! And hopefully before the summer.
14. Read a book for FUN. Yes this is virtually impossible for me. No idea why, it is either sewing or science book. This year I will try and read a book for fun. There is just not enough time in the day.
15. See my extra points list
15. See my extra points list
.....................................
So I would like to have an earn an extra points list. Just because if I do I should be rewarded. Here is my list
1. Rest of DVDs for bellydance (0.5 extra) and another 0.5 if I can sell the ones I don't want.
2. t-shirt quilt
3. 5k
4. BD costume finish
5. New bedspread/comforter and headboard.
6. Get that 2nd room organized and decluttered.
7. 25 more items sewn for charity.
8. Prom dress refashions for charity. Oh just wait I hope I can make this happen!
9. Any of the craft kits I have, if I get 1 done that will be amazing!!
So do you set New Years Resolutions? How good are you with keeping them?? I found that putting it out online for all to see is an incentive for me to keep them. I hate saying I accomplished nothing. Don't know why I do but that is how it works out.
From my blog to yours, Have a Happy and Productive New Years!! Here's to 2014 bringing love, happiness, joy, creativity, sewing, and refashioning!
Cheers,
Lauren

Good luck with these! Some of them are really interesting. Trapeze school? That would have NEVER crossed my mind. Very cool. One of my to-do's soon is to take a motorcycle training course. That's another suggestion, if you're looking for something you can do in a weekend.
ReplyDeleteWow, you have quite an aggressive list here! Good luck with all of these!
