Well the sewing room is tidy and the fabric stash in the cupboard is organised. I cannot believe the amount of fabric I have in that cupboard. While I was organising the fabrics into the plastic containers, I remembered just how much I paid for some of that fabric. Frightening! I hope my husband never reads my blog!
I have some beautiful italian linens and expensive cotton voiles in amongst all of that fabric. I have a feeling that I hesitated to use these fabrics because I considered them 'too good', which resulted in them just being stored away, lost in that mess that was my fabric stash. This year I am determined to find the right patterns to make them up in.
Along with that huge fabric stash, I also have an enormous amount of patterns. Most of which have never been opened. Whilst I won't commit to not buying any new patterns during 2011, I am going to make a conscious decision to try and use my existing patterns whenever possible.
After many years of working in the corporate world my circumstances changed at the end of last year. I use to work as a marketer and now I am trying to establish a new career as a real estate photographer. Needless to say the kind of wardrobe I need for my new career is very different. Now I need smart casual clothing that still looks professional when I go out to photograph homes. None of the stuffy corporate stuff anymore!
