1. Facings. Never understood them, still don't.
2. Zippers. Once upon a time I was a pro, now, not so much.
3. Sleeves. Would love to make some without puckers and yelling.
4. Button holes. Not easy. Never attempted.
5. Bias Tape. Would love to make my own.
6. Rolled Hem. If I could even get to the hem in a fine-fabric garment I'd consider it a success.
7. Interfacing. It would be great to actually use it correctly.
8. Linings. The key to a well executed garment - The only 1 I ever made was awkward.
9. Pattern Alteration. Deviate from the original Pattern? Crazy Awesome.
I am probably getting way ahead of myself with this, but I want to make a list of projects on the horizon.
1. Silk Pants
2. Chiffon Top
3. 70's Style Maxi Dress
4. Suit Jacket & Skirt
5. Button down shirt
The old me would be counting projects and sewing ability before the machine is even out of the closet. The new me says: "One thing at a time; lets see if you can alter those floral shorts that have been sitting in a box for 2 months and hem the curtains in the Spartan. If you're really feeling ambitious, go ahead and alter that mustard-yellow dress hanging in the closet that drowns you." Good thinking, must remain grounded.
