Sure did. I usually try not to make goals because I feel like a weenie when I don’t meet them. And if I do make goals, I rarely share them with others because then they ask me questions and I have to admit I failed. But I made a goal. Nay, I made more than one goal – I made goals. And I will be victorious. Yes… yes I will.
My goals this weekend are to:
- Turn on my sewing machine.
- Thread a bobbin.
- Drive some fabric down the line to practice.
- High-five myself for making some progress in the land of sewing.
- And, if I feel so inclined, attempt to craft something.
I’ve had my cute little sewing machine since October and I’ve done nil with it. Even as I set it up at home, the hubs eversolovingly reminded me that I don’t know how to sew. [As I'm quite good at it,] I ignored his spewing facts and told myself I could do this. I could. And I will. Then I might have not touched my cute little sewing machine since I first set it up. But by golly, I am bound and determined to use some damn needles and thread.
I have a binder full of tutorials, some projects are more for inspiration rather than coming to life, but my mind has been focused. I’ve found several “easy” projects but I know they won’t be “easy” until I can weasel my way around my machine. This weekend, I conquer my cute sewing machine. Wish me luck.
Jun Belen - Yay for goals! We want a detailed account of your progress by Monday morning! Happy Friday!!
rachel - Good luck!! One thing you can do that is super easy if you have come fabric is make a pocket. You just fold the fabric in half and sew on 3 out of 4 sides. It would give you a feeling of accomplishment and help you practice sewing in a straight line!
DOO DOO - Give me a call if you what some help love mom.
