I was just sat thinking of my nice non-interrupted weekend ahead of me and what I want to get done. I started writing a list in my head but I felt the need to write it down (mainly so I can tick it off!) and I thought I would make the list official by publishing it on here! I may make this a regular feature - if I remember!
I love lists, I write them at work ALL the time but I don't seem to write them at home as much, I am hoping this means if I cross some off I will feel a bit more accomplished. At the same time sewing is for pleasure so I don't want too many deadlines! I like breaking down tasks into managable chunks which obviously creates a very long list of 'To Do's' but crossing them off is soooo satisfying!

Oh my goodness, there's ambition for you. You are so organised. I have lists for weekends but they tend to be of the sort that goes like this-
ReplyDelete1. Make dress.
(this includes finding where on earth I have stashed the pattern for dress, same for the fabric, discovering I do not have matching or right kind of thread, likewise zip and interfacing or machine needle, finding my shape has changed since last made one like this or discovering I really need to make a toile for this, realising I need to pre-wash the fabric- and this is even before I have tried to lay out the fabic for cutting and attempted to get the grain straight to do so)
2. Get partner to help mark the hemming line - this is sometimes the most difficult bit because he usually has his own weekend tasks although this weekend he is poorly (hope I don't catch it) and therefore not available.
Also there is never really anything such as a free weekend, something always crops up - such as a partner needing cossetting.
Good luck with your list.
haha you do well in getting some help with hemming! My partner wouldn't be helpful in that department!
DeleteI am not aiming to get them all finished, I think it really helped though, I will be keeping it up so I think this will become a feature around here :)
