I didn't sew much in 2024 nor did I blog much. I spent the first half of the year reading. Then something kicked in shortly after my birthday, and I picked up a pattern and fabric that was previously cut out but not sewn. I ended up finishing seven garments with one UFO I'm letting go reluctantly and another that I'm rolling into 2025 hoping to finish it up.
This post is the intro post for the sewing that I completed in 2024 and for any new sewing that I'm going to do in 2025. My sewjo has come home. Not as potent in years pass where all I wanted to do was sew, but definitely there and making me want to create.
I just won't talk about all the fabric, buttons & notions, and patterns I bought in 2024. Honestly though I was like a squirrel stocking up for the winter because I believe that prices on everything are gonna rise in 2025. If I have to choose, I want to be able to eat and then create without limitations. Basically I'm treating my collections like I did pre-Covid, knowing it will sustain me in the years to come. So even though I did a big giveaway in June, clearing out over a hundred yards of fabric, I've restocked with pieces I will probably use more in this stage of my life.
I'm making this my motto for 2025 - "I Was Created to Create!" I may not create in the prodigious levels I use to, but I'm trying to find my way back to my first love. This is waiting for buttons & buttonholes...
...following in the next couple of days will be two blog posts for garments completed and worn in 2024 but not shared here.
...as always more later!
