Everybody is coming up with New Years resolutions. Do they last? No not really, why not? And why always waiting until January 1st to make a change?
Now a few days into the new year I would really like to change a few things wasn’t satisfied with all my choices made in 2017. So I thought to myself the best way to make that happen is to share them with you.
Here we go.
1. No more shopping for clothes
Yes I’m done with shopping clothes. I don’t want to buy clothing I don’t know anything about. The only thing we know is where it was produced and probably for a wage way too low.
2. Sewing all my clothes by myself
I want to be able to say I did sew my Style – my own clothes. I want to pick the fabric and I want to support the pattern designer too. I want to live more aware. Also I have to try more intermediate sewing patterns and fabrics. There are millions of beautiful pattern, designs and fabrics out there and I’m super excited to start this new challenge.
3. I need to get better with my time management!
Many times I had planned to go and finish some UFO’s (unfinished Sewing Objects) in the nights during the week. And even on the weekends I can’t get myself motivated enough to do some creative sewing. And how many times did I end up in stressful sewing because I left it for too long. This needs to end! That’s not how I keep up my “Sewjo”
4. Do more things, I love doing!
Who doesn’t want to do what they love to do? I can imagine sewing all day and all night, and the next, and the next … Without thinking of all the undone tasks piling up. I know that this will be a dream for now – to do what you love to do for living. All beginnings are difficult and of course it takes time to build a dream!
All under the Motto:
Sew something
Make something
Build something
Buy nothing
I always keep my eyes open for free sewing patterns. I also do buy a lot too. But I’m convinced as a beginner you don’t have to and probably don’t want to spend too much on patterns. And there are tons of free printable ones out there anyway.
So this time I found 2 pretty cool patterns I would like to share with you:
An unsusal piece of a daily outfit got my attention: Underwear – Panties! It’s the perfect to use leftover fabrics or scraps too. And I have tons of that!
2 different pattern and 2 different styles. And easy to make.
