Thanks so much for all of your kind comments regarding the stretch lace jumpsuit I mentioned in my last post. I dropped it off to the Bride to Be this afternoon and received the final confirmation that she absolutely loves it! I am both honored and humbled. That project really challenged me and I appreciated the opportunity! And speaking of challenge I decided to make May my "Sewing Bootcamp" month! I'd been considering having a sewing bootcamp month for a while. And I'm no stranger to challenges---heck my blog premise is built around a challenge---amassing 10,000 hours of sewing (of which I'm over half way through). This whole month is centered around "non-stop sewing". I repeat "non-stop sewing". That means when I'm not doing my daily activities (taking care of family, household, etc.) and working with clients I will be in my studio cutting out pieces and sewing! I really want to work on increasing my speed and production. I'm kicking my own butt into high gear! Since this is my full-time gig now and career focus my goal is to get better and better. You know to the point where sewing is just like breathing. I just wanted to give you guys a heads up. I have some client projects this month but in between I will be pushing myself. I KNOW I need to do this for me! Just taking my discipline to a higher level. As with anything the more you do it the easier it gets. Besides I need a Spring/Summer wardrobe! Plus Mother's Day is next weekend and you KNOW I'm gonna make something cute to wear for me and my daughter! Details to follow. Stay tuned! I plan on sewing non-stop this month!!! It ought to be both challenging and fun! Wish me luck:)
I can't wait to see the jumpsuit on your bride! And I'm curious what you charged. Is it every seamstress' dilemma because I have no idea what to charge people!
ReplyDeleteAll righty...I'm making May my Sewing Boot Camp too. Thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome. I need to boot camp it as well. Maybe next month will be my boot camp. I can't wait to see what lovely garments you produce during your boot camp.
ReplyDeleteI love this! I think I will join you. I am so frustrated because all these other things are getting in the way of my sewing. I need to make it a number one priority for a whole month.
ReplyDeleteMe too, me too! What a fabulous idea!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck, I know you can acheive it. Look forward to seeing all the garments that you make.
ReplyDeleteYay! Good luck! I will be kicking it into high gear too...though maybe not as high as you are! I am excited, nonetheless!
ReplyDeleteI envy you the luxury of being able to put everything and everyone on hold to just sew. It's been years since I've been able to do that. Kudos and good luck to you. Can't wait to see all the wonderful things you'll be sharing. I know you will be knocking 'em dead on Mother's Day.
