I am very excited for this year's New Year's Resolution! The idea came a few weeks ago when I was sitting at church. I looked down at my favorite denim skirt that I wear almost every week... Why do I wear this skirt every week? Because I love denim... and it fits me! Yes, my closet is severely lacking in the skirt department right now. I have a lot of skirts/dresses that I wore before I became a mom, but they have just never fit the same since. Well, it's time to remedy this situation don't you think?
My New Year's Resolution for 2011 is to...
Sew a new skirt or dress every other month.
I wish I could commit to every month, but I really want to do this so I'm cutting myself a little slack here. I think every other month is very doable, and I'm sure some months I might be able to do an extra one.
I'm so excited for this! Mainly because when I first learned to sew it was sewing clothes. I used to make myself dresses and skirts in high school and I really loved it. I've sort of fallen away from sewing clothes and really sew more blankets and such now. So I'm excited to get back into sewing from a pattern, button holes, zippers, lining, the whole nine yards!!!
I've already got the first skirt all figured out! I can't wait to get started...
What's your resolution for 2011?
I have made a similar resolution! It was actually in part inspired by your high wasted skirt you made a while back because I remember thinking, I want to make that! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

ReplyDeleteMine our posted on our family blog. Basically I want to 'fix' 5 bad habits. I'm making some weak points strong. I like this idea of making clothes. I too don't like most of what is in my closet and it is probably because they don't fit right.
