It's my birthday (yippeeeee)!! In celebration, I'm taking three days off of work and having a sewing retreat. David volunteered to cook all the meals, help me in whatever ways I need (pins, hems, fitting) and helping to create a sewing retreat space in our place. I am super excited to get started--I've got lots of fun things planned. Of course, I'll take a place to watch some classic movies in the evenings.....ah, I love it!
Every year for my birthday, I create a list of things I want to do in the following year. This year my list is 33 things for my 33rd year. You can see the full list here, but there are several sewing specific (and a few others) entries this year that I am particularly excited about:
1. Sew or create 33 things this year
2. Learn new sewing skills (such as a bound buttonhole, matching plaids, etc.)
3. Enter a sewing contest on Pattern Review
4. Take a sewing class
5. Read several sewing books and magazines
6. Sew presents for friends and family
7. Sew a winter coat
8. Learn to knit

11. Refashion 5 garments
12. Get better at sewing for short amounts of time more often
