The final post in the @SewingTop5 is traditionally the author’s top 5 goals for the coming year. We decided to do this one a bit differently and have a POLL! We love a good poll…
We pooled our own personal sewing goals, then added a few we thought others might have that we didn’t happen to have in our group. You will see a summary of which we picked after taking the poll, but in the meantime – we want to hear from you!
Which goals align with yours? Are there any we missed – let us know yours in the comments!
Thanks for taking the quiz – we hope you achieve all your sewing goals in 2020!
Dear Reader: Our goal is to build community and make everyone feel welcome. We support crafting as an inclusive and welcoming space for people of all ages, abilities, ethnicities, genders, orientations and sizes. Regarding sewing challenge themes, we ask that you take each challenge as you see it fitting in your life, and express your involvement how you like, at the given time. Our challenges are for the pure enjoyment of participation and the love of community. Extended Mission Page Here.
I completed the poll
I added:
Revive some old skills that I haven’t used in a while (e.g. good underlining techniques)
and Find ways to incorporate old skills to the life I have now (e.g. pleating and smocking)
Those are great goals! I’m about to line a garment for the fist time in years and I’m trying to remember all the good tricks!
I have recently moved into renovate,recut, revive. There are 2 drivers – space and emotion.
Emotion because like many in the sewing community I love the fabrics used in past makes, I remember where I got the fabric, where I wore the item and the people from that time or event – eg a celebration or a funeral.
So I give the item a new life and a new set of memories.
What a great way to revive older garments!
Sorry guys, because I love the questions, I can’t see this as a poll
That’s fair! It started as a long winded post about all of our many goals and we thought this might be a more fun way to present the post – but you are right, it’s not good science! 😉
