Sewlution progress
Sunday, February 10, 2013
As some of you may have seen already Karen over at Did You Make That pulled 3 names out of the Sewlutions jar to check on their progress. Wouldn't you know it that yours truly was one of the first names pulled. If some of you aren't familiar Karen's awesome idea was to have everyone write down what their sewing goal was for the year. At the end of the year (with random progress reports throughout the year) we would have to fess up on whether we acheived our goal. She had a whopping 244 responses!! To refresh your memories here is what my sewlution was word for word...

I really want to push myself and sew one item a week, whether it be clothing, accessories, or refashions. I tend to get a little lazy. Last September I made myself a monthly goal to sew one item a week. It really kept me motivated and I did accomplish it. We’ll see if I can stick it out a whole year!
Yeah I'm now realizing how hard it is to sew a garment a week! I have faith I can do it and reading everyone's encouraging words is even more motivation. Since Karen's post I have received many new followers. It's very exciting to know that others are interested in my progress and want to cheer me on. Thanks to everyone! It keeps me motivated to accomplish the task at hand. So I know what your all really wanting to know is, how have I done so far!? I'm happy to say that I am on track! With six weeks behind us so far in 2013 here are the 6 items I've made.

Yes I know I'm missing one. The only photographic evidence of it is the picture I snapped for Instagram. It was a big flowery dud of a mess. I guess I'll be generous and show you the catastrophie...
The fabric was all wrong, the print was all wrong and it was just too big.
So who else is in on the Sewlution?? What was yours and how's your progress? Leave me a comment with your blog so I can follow along.
Catch ya on the flip flop! Peace..
