Total cost: about 1 month's rent
Total pattern purchased: 7 + 1 pattern book
Knitting projects: 4
Goals from 2011:
- Better construction
- Accomplished: for the most part, I've taken the time to finish my seams and make durable pieces. Sewing classes in 2010 really helped!
- Make fewer sundresses, more practical dresses
- Accomplished: I'm loving my long-sleeved casual dresses and circle skirts
- Make more work clothes
- Accomplished: made almost a dozen work-friendly tops, outerwear, and even a dress or two
- Make my own underwear
- Work in progress: I've done a good job developing my pattern, but so far I'm not wearing any of my home-made underwear on the regular
- Wear something I've made almost every day
- Work in progress: I wear something I make AT LEAST once a week, often more.
Goals for 2012:
- Better fit: Now that I've got the construction down, I want to perfect my fit
- Be inspired by looks that fit my lifestyle and body: Just because it looks good on the runway and I CAN make it doesn't mean I SHOULD make it (an extension of the No More Sundresses goal)
- Make a coat: The wool is on its way!
- Make pants: Clover here I come...
- Lower my average cost: Stop splurging!
