Keep me accountable, will ya?
Once again, I’ve found myself with a stack of fabric and plans to sew many things. One of my goals for this year is to not sew just for the sake of sewing. I want to be deliberate and only make things that I really need and/or desperately want. Need takes priority over desire.
In an effort to keep myself organised, I’m going to attempt to keep a sewing project list going here, marking down specific plans and then checking things off as they are completed. We’ll see how this goes.
Do you keep a list of projects? Do you have tips for keeping yourself on track? I would love to hear any of your tips or best practices!
