So as you may have noticed… I’ve been working on the website (again, sigh). Some day, It will be *perfect* … that day is not today.
The Holidays were *probably* the worst possible time I could have picked for myself … because it is this time of the year my schedule is constantly changing as my personal affairs get in the way of my sewing and other creative outlets. You will notice that the December 2006 poll is not up yet. I don’t plan on having a poll this month because I need to play some serious catch-up.
I launched a new site on December 1. It is called Sew Fearless!! It is a blog, and will have open enrollment for authors. The theme is sewing without fear. I encourage anyone that sews “off the beaten path” to contribute. We need a site where ideas flow, to inspire each other to step-up and move beyond the fear.
Without further ado, here is what’s on the menu for this month:
- Finish up the project from the October poll! Butterick 8036, vintage 1950’s dress.
- Finish up my cousin’s suit for his winter formal dance… this project will be featured on Sew Fearless as my first official contribution. The pattern itself is from the 1970’s, in a very trendy “skinny cut”. It was a gift from Tatterdemalion of The House of Tatterdemalion (see the blogroll to visit T).
- Tatterdemalion also sent me a bazillion (so I’m exaggerating) vintage patterns to distribute amongst all of you, so I will have to get a designated area built for you all to pick out your patterns (If you want any of them).
- Finish the Cavalli Project. Did you see the What Does This Fabric Want to Be? thread?? I have settled on a pattern, This One. This is probably going to be challenging as I haven’t done a Burda for myself in years and I need to figure out Burda’s sloper all over again.
- Finish the past-due upload to patternaddiction.com.
- Did I forget anything?? Oh yes… Happy Holidays!!
Rock on!! - TA
