I enjoyed reading your post. I have gone through a similar situation. I started a project board, and abandoned it shortly after. I have decided I will sew what I like when I want too. The only problem I have is I tend to sew the same pattern, over and over and over again. So now I am top heavy in my closet. More tops and not enough bottoms. But I frequently remove anything from my closet that I haven’t worn in a year and donate it.
Thank you Melanie, you know how it feel. Since I made the decision to sew what ever I want, I no longer have the need to meet deadlines. I also clean my closet out yearly and donate stuff. So get to sewing more bottoms.
SWAP is such a good concept - and SCARY ! LOL I joined the Slow Sewist sewalong at PR for good reason. No matter how easy and doable the SWAP rules seem, there is no way I would do 9-11 pieces in that time frame. With all good intentions, I never even managed one skirt in the Carnival :-(
I'll look forward to your pieces as you 'fill in the blanks' in your closet.
Claire,,SWAP is not only scary, but stressful and it makes me anxious. Besides I am a very slow sewist. Slow Sewist sewalong? that sound like a sewalong I should join.
SWAPs are good if one can endure the deadline. I learned that I do better working from my closet which helps pairing my sewn garments with rtw orphans.
Thanks for the shoutout.
