Needed this reminder. Last year, in February, I decided I was going to see table toppers, and fix table clothes to fit my table each month. It was part of my healing process from dealing with loss. It wasn't much but seeing my dining room with new decor each month made me smile every time I walked thru the room. Which was constant because my dining room connects all the other rooms in my house. I had planned on creating pillow covers for my living room throw pillows for each month. Again, I just need things to brighten my life and stop dwelling on my losses, at least for a little while.
My sewing goal is to use up my existing fabric to make myself clothes that fit me well and that I feel good in. I have so many patterns and so much fabric I just need to get to work
Same here regarding the fabric - been working on it for a few years! I think we can do it, I also sorted my fabric recently and gave away/gifted what I know for sure I won't use for different reasons! It is better if other people get to use!
Feeling so encouraged and inspired my friend. Have not set any goals but I feel I should used to sew but lost track I must say I have 2 sewing machines, material and the sewing materials. I don't know how I got on you page but am grateful. It's a sure sign to get ready. Thx for sharing.Many blessings.💖🙇♂️🙇♀️✌👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Alisa!! Your point on with everything you said & I really needed to hear that out loud.. Really appreciate you helping me get back on track.... 💜💜💜🧵🧵🧵
I started my new year by making my daughter a new pair of bell bottoms. She loved them. Thank you for all you do to encourage me and others. May God Bless You.
I have set a goal to work on growing my sewing at least 1 hour a day 5 days a week. I hope to do more than that, and most weeks I do, but one hour a day is the goal. I count learning a new skill by looking at tutorials or reading dressmaking books, pattern drafting also counts,so not all of it is hands on sewing. I started this a few months ago and have learned many new skills and honed what I really want to work on.
Liz, this is inspiring - exactly! Not everything needs to be hands on by the sewing machine, since a lot is learned from observation, but I love what you said about 1 hour a day! And... You have seen progress - that is amazing!
After listening to this video I came up with the same approach, a hour day so I can complete a project in a week. And being motivated by my why is what I’m hoping will do the trick!
Thank you for helping me set up for success. I had goals in my head but didn't write them down. I achieved not much. I will make a plan to succeed in every aspect of my life by writing ✍ step by step every month. Blessings Alisa.😘👏🏽👏🏽
Great video!!!! My goals: not focus on making a whole quilt, but to focus on making a block daily. Then the blocks will all come together to make the quilt. I also have a goal to teach my daughter more about sewing. She loves trying to hand stitch. We could sit together and learn together for 30 minutes a day.
I loved this video! I started doing this last year. It began with getting the house cleaned. My physical decline made it difficult to clean it all in one day. So I have the goal to get the whole house done in 2 weeks. Each day I clean a different room. It has been such a blessing. I also did it with my sewing. Joined a Facebook group to complete a sewing project each week. Sometimes it is only mending, or something really small, but I made it last year and sewed something every week last year. It works people!!!
Brilliant video. I stopped doing new years resolution fee years back but I have few sewing goals in my head for this year. Biggest one is communion dress for my daughter using my wedding dress
Susan, great to hear that! And... you don't have to have a goal, maybe an idea or an outline? Some people do better with an approximate idea of what they want and some do better with a concrete definition!
Happy New Year !! & Thank you so much .. It was really inspiring.. The Road map is a great suggestion. Will work on tht. I read in the comments by someone saying her goal is to sew min of 1 hour a day .. That is something i have been trying to but haven’t been able to build that habit yet. I will try and work on that and I hope to feel proud if my sewing journey by end of 2021 ..
I just started learning to sew this past year! My goal is to continue learning, build my skills and make something new every month and work towards eventually making a garment using a pattern!
Arlene, happy new 2021 for you as well, my dear. I am blessed to have all of you and being able to connect with sewing!!! Here's to a wonderful 2021! Wishing you health and love this year!
Hi.. that is me.. I have a bag of fabric that I purchased and wish to get to all of them to sew the things I want to sew and proudly wear.. sometimes I only dedicated Saturdays .. but since I am a newbie .. it may take hours or entire Saturday to finish the project...
Terri, that's a great plan! Someone else in the comments said the same and I replied that it breaks down to about 1 garment per month which is SUPER possible!
My goal is to make a capsule wardrobe of 10 items! Your videos have been inspiring me 😁 Do you have a pattern for the top you are wearing here, it's so cute!
That's awesome! And it is totally possible! 10 items breaks down to about 1 garment per month! About the top, yes, if you type in "bishop sleeve too tutorial" on TH-cam - you will see my top tutorial in first 5 search results or so.
Hello, hello! No, I just put the big spook in an empty, clean coffee cup next to my sewing machine and then thread it like normal. I have heard some people use straw cups the same way, just remove the straw and thread your thread through it. I hope this helps :)
Ruth, I am so sorry to hear that! I have been there a few times - no sewjo, but the I went deeper into why I wanted to sew in a first place and it can back! Sometimes looking at inspiration helps too!
Rita, that's amazing! I made my own wedding dress and I LOVED it! It takes a bit of work but it is possible! Wishing you success and happy sewing! - ooops, sorry, read your comment wrong. Dress for yourself for your daughters wedding - that is also amazing! Hope you can find a pattern/style that you love!
Dear Sewing Friends, what are your sewing goals for 2021 and habits you want to adapt? Thank you for sharing!
Wow, I can't believe you have a full-time job a child and manage to make things and youtube!!! I am very impressed!

Great advice. I over plan all the time. One thing at a time. Thank you. 💞
Elaine, so true! You know, I have to remind myself that one ALL THE TIME!
I needed to hear this.
Glad I could help!
Wow, you are one busy lady. Thank you for the inspiration.
Melissa, yeah, busy life :) but we make it work! I am super happy this brought you some value!

Hello there, how are you doing and how is your sewing going?
That's good advice, Alisa, thanks for sharing it with us.
Btw, I missed your lovely wall of artwork today....
Happy New Year!
Happy new year! Gotcha, I am in the middle of remodeling, that's why :)
Some really great points there Alisa! I agree, I think goals are important but there has to be a road map. Really inspiring chat x
You are wonderful. Thank you for sharing these very helpful steps. Happy and healthy 2021.

I love your passion! Thank you for the inspiration and encouragement! I haven’t decided on a goal yet, but when I do, I’ll use your planner.

Great video!
So inspiring! I am going to apply this to other non sewing goals as well!
Thanks for this video! I love it, waiting for more. Happy New Year. ❤❤❤❤

Thank you for this. I needed it. Would you be able to discuss pacing as part of this series?
Absolutely, Sarah, that is actually one of the techniques that I use! :)

Totally off subject...but do you do anything special in order to use your serger threadsppols in your Singer sewing machine?
Hello, hello! No, I just put the big spook in an empty, clean coffee cup next to my sewing machine and then thread it like normal. I have heard some people use straw cups the same way, just remove the straw and thread your thread through it. I hope this helps :)
You are right i have loast my sewjo and am strugging with all these stupid rona restrictions
Ruth, I am so sorry to hear that! I have been there a few times - no sewjo, but the I went deeper into why I wanted to sew in a first place and it can back! Sometimes looking at inspiration helps too!
1👍 from me 😘...

Rita, that's amazing! I made my own wedding dress and I LOVED it! It takes a bit of work but it is possible! Wishing you success and happy sewing! - ooops, sorry, read your comment wrong. Dress for yourself for your daughters wedding - that is also amazing! Hope you can find a pattern/style that you love!
A goal without action is called a daydream.
