And so it begins

After reviewing my list, which I may post later, I have decided on a plan of attack for today.

First:

I am so close to completing my first fitted shirt so I think that will be my goal for today.

I recently took a class at the Ultimate Sewing Centre in Oshawa using Kwik Sew #2849

I am working on view C with the view b button cover.  Now for me this shirt is a whole lot of firsts.  I am not normally a blouse person.  I don't usually wear things that tuck in!  But this had a nice hem line meant to be worn over the bottom layer.  Secondly this is a standard size pattern.  I normally need a plus size pattern for the bottom half.  Lastly through the class I had my pattern fitted for me.  

How have I ever sewn anything without knowing about custom fitting.  I have lengthened and shortened but never widened and narrowed.  I also took a class in October on pattern adjustments for the upper body.  What an ah ha moment that was.  Turns out I can sew all kinds of things that aren't plus sized now that I know how to adjust them.  This was such a thrill to me.  My mind is going a million miles an hour with all the things I can sew now.  

Secondly:

I took a course WAY back in June at said sewing store for a quilt for the child for the trailer.  It is called an Urban Log Cabin and that has been sitting in its box since.  I just need to sew the strips together and put on the borders.  Of course then I have to quilt it but lets not dwell on the that.  

So there it is.  My goals for today.  Now to execute.
