I will honor the fact I have limited space and resources. Therefore, all projects will be taken on mindfully.
My approach to sewing will be the low scale, slower, and high quality tailoring model. I will not try to force myself into techniques better suited to garment factories. My least limited resource is time.
The economics of home sewing will be attended to. As attractive T-shirts made out of $70 worth of materials are, they are still T-shirts.
However, I will spend the money for quality materials for long lasting garments without flinching, at least too much. Materials used will be worthy of the time spent.
I understand nobody really likes those fleecy blankets with the “tied” fringes and will refrain.
I will give myself the time to do a good job, particularly if I’ve never tackled a similiar project before. I will dedicate myself to sewing daily or weekly and whatever gets done is whatever gets done. Modern RTW (Ready to Wear) and an abudance of thrift/consignment stores means that noone will go naked or cold, even if money is tight.
Despite every precaution, if I find myself frustrated to the point of anger or tears, I will walk away from today’s session secure that there’s another session to make progress.
I will limit myself to a 2 hours of Pintrest to 1 hour actually sewing.
