Stash busting
Happy New Year!!!!! It's been a long time I know. Life got in the way of blogging, but I'm back.
I don't believe in resolutions, but I do want to make and stick to few sewing commitments in 2017!!!
1. Stash busting!!!!!
2. Unscribe from all on-line fabric stores
3. Clean up sewing room after each project (really helps me to be more productive)
4. Adhere to deadlines for customer sewing
5. Sew more garments for me!!!!!
6. Sew garments for grandkids (they have requested many)
7. Blog at least once a month
8. Donate unwanted fabric to local sewing school
9. Sew smarter!!!!
10. Do more sewing for community service
Well there it is----hopefully since I've documented my goals, I'll be able to reach them by years' end.
Happy sewing - may all your sewing goals come true!!!!
