I've started to get organised (a little bit). After planning my summer wardrobe, I began to think about what is getting me excited in the world of sewing (no point in doing it if I'm not having fun and being challenged). With more inspiration from the www (check out Ginger Makes Check the Technique), I have made a (long) list of technique challenges. Have I bitten off more than I can chew? Only time will tell.
