I once heard a song with the lyrics "time is a slippery fish, now". Doesn't that perfectly describe the plight of the avid sewer who does not have enough nanoseconds in day to finish their projects? But I have high hopes for sewing in 2013 and to have something to tick off at end of the year.The two patterns that I'm putting on my 'why haven't I sewn this yet?' - get on with it list are Vogue 1090, a stunning Michael Kors tunic and a Burda jacket that I've admired since June 2008!
• A chambray shirt
• A blue lace skirt
• An heirloom wool jacket
• A quality wool coat
• A trouser suit
• A tuxedo jacket
• A sporty parka
• Versatile lightweight or unlined jackets for work and play
• More knit tops
• More dresses, including a black dress
• More kaftan tunics
• Cargo pants
• Fancy pants
• A winter evening coat
• A few sweatshirts for early morning walks and winter exercise
I also have some special needs this year:
• Daughter’s 21 birthday party (DD & me)
• Nephew’s wedding
• Daughter’s valedictory dinner (DD & me)
• Daughter’s end of school cocktail party (DD & me)
• Daughter’s Year 12 Formal
If I can tick off half of this at the end of 2013, I'll be a happy seamstress.
