Most importantly, I am creating again! This makes me happier than words can say...
Which brings me to some creative resolutions I made for this year. Just in time to count in the big Resolve to Sew Giveaway!
- I resolve to spend more time sewing on my ancient WIPs and UFQs. A few of these haven't seen the light of day since 2010, when I lifted the lid of the box to make sure they were still there and still okay.
- Spend more time sewing clothing (for me and maybe for that little baby niece) ;-) I have a small collection of vintage patterns that I'd like to alter to make myself a few dresses and (maybe) even a coat from one I bought recently online--grand ambitions, I know. I also have a few of the Lisette sewing patterns by Simplicity, and I'd love to make (at least one of) everything in this pattern for a summer wardrobe:
- Sadly I didn't sew any clothing last year (other than a few alterations for the wedding). We can't have that.
- In 2012, I'm going to sew my own quilts, my own inspirations, and not worry so much about what trends are popping up on blogs, Pinterest, and flickr. Or if it will fill a void here on the blog.... If I like it, and I feel it, I'll create it!
- And lastly, I want to try some new things. I haven't defined exactly what those new things are yet, but I know I want to experiment more this year and work/sew outside of my comfort zone.
So stay tuned--big things could be happening here in 2012!
Do you make sewing/quilting resolutions?
Or general resolutions when the New Year comes?
What do you want to create in 2012?

Doris, I am still pondering my goals for this year, too. I'm so busy with everything, I'm having trouble with commitment. :-) I love what you are creating and I'm so glad to hear you are feeling better!
Hope you are feeling much better... I worry about you.
I made an effort to put my goals out there. Right now I'm just trying to find a routine. It's discombobulated with the move and all...
I have never been very successful with resolutions!! But I do try every year to make and keep them. This year...no timelines or deadlines with quilting. Just quilting for pleasure :)
I think your goals sound almost like mine. Glad you are feeling better. Can't wait to see you. This year will be even better--because now we already know each other!
I want to sew more clothes for myself this year, too. I bought that same Lisette pattern last summer and my goal is to get it made this year. That would make a nice spring dress.
I made the blouse from the Lisette pattern! I wore it for the first time today (it is summer downunder!) Its a wonderful pattern and it fits perfectlY!
