Aww no, flu for Christmas, no fun! The photos are seriously beautiful, though.
Stash busting is a huge goal for me this year, too! I almost always buy fabric with a possible project in mind, and if it doesn’t get done for a year or two, the motivation and excitement for that project are kinda all out the window…

Wowza! So glad you are feeling better! One of my resolutions is to stash bust as well. I’ve vowed to make at least 5 garments out of fabric I already own before I allow myself to buy anymore. We’ll see how that goes…

I have two goals. One is to make more tops, I have a serious lack of blouses. The other is to make better fitting clothes especially when it comes to the full bust adjustment… eak…

So sorry you’ve been ill. Yuck! I’m with you on the button-down shirts. I’ve been really inspired by your Everyday Wardrobe posts. I’m wanting to build up a mix-and-match-able, stylish wardrobe that I can feel good wearing every day. What pattern are you using for the button-downs? I am eyeing BurdaStyle 7136: http://www.simplicity.com/p-7961-burda-style-blouse.aspx I want to examine the pattern a bit more up close before I commit, but it looks promising.

My goal is to sew more clothes instead of quilts, and search my stash carefully before I buy any more clothing fabric, the cupboard is full!

And, I’d like to get some pants patterns figured out, but the first goal is to lose maybe 30 more pounds so that is the first half of the year, and then I will deal with pants.

I have four pairs of pants that need hemming, I need to get that done, at least two this week. I did get some knit pajama bottoms made yesterday!

I’d like to make a dress, a one-piece dress, not a top and a skirt. Haven’t had one for maybe 15 years?

And make my first Renfrew – the pattern is getting dusty!

And take another class from dear Sunni, probably next fall!

Sorry to hear you have been so sick. Our family had that happen one Christmas and we all still remember how awful it was. It does make you appreciate your good health after it is all over – hope that comes quickly! Thank you for your amazing blog. I have been inspired to start sewing for myself again. I have gained a lot of weight and hated making garments but now I realize I need to do a tnt pattern and make items that fit the new me! Only I can make things that match my imagination (instead of hopelessly stalking ready to wear waiting for magic to happen). All of a sudden I am excited about sewing and the creative process in general … so that is my New Year’s Resolution:to be more creative in general (daydream and document) and spend one day a week (Friday) completing projects starting with a tnt pattern.

So hope you’re on the mend! By no way a comparison, but I had a night of hard partying (esp. given my last 3 months) – I mean, I was home at 1 and I walked to and from, but still… – and this morning I am feeling rather on the edge. Drink water and rest works regardless of what’s making you feel crappy, I say.

Your goals speak to me. I really have to work from my stash because there’s no more space in the cupboard! But how is it that all new projects seem to need new fabric??

Happy 2013, Sunni. I wish you a wonderful year.

Last year I worked on filling out the gothy side of my wardrobe, and of course now that it is comfortably sized, all I want to wear is neon colours *facepalm*; So this year (or the next few months at least) my aim is to make up all the neon green/hot pink/turquise blue clothing ideas that are rattling around in my head. As I have a lot of blue fabric, and white fabric that will soon be dyed magical colours, this should help with my ever present stashbusting goals too!
