Here we are, mid-February 2015. I don't know about you but most of my resolutions have gone by the wayside already. I think the problem is the sorts of goals I set for myself. "Sew more" or "work out more" or "take in less garbage." Goals like this are discouraging because, if you are like me, then you never sew "more" because you've never sewn enough to merit having sewn "more.". Does that make sense? (Seriously though, I do need to sew more...) 

Anyway, I digress. So instead of having the resolution "sew more" or "make more things," I am going to instead set a goal of one project a month. Some of you serious sewers out there are laughing at me right now, but that's okay. I also work full time and I'm in school, and I actually probably don't need to justify myself at all... But I would rather have an attainable goal of one project a month than set a high one and fail miserably. I'd also rather feel satisfied that I have a really solid creation than feel like I've just rushed through a bunch of half-assed creations. This means that I'll be posting here at least once a month, but I will obviously try to post more frequently. 

Also, I have the pleasure of announcing that I will be offering sewing services, starting now. Some of you already have custom made items, so please send pictures and I'll put them up! I would be delighted to create a custom garment or other project for you, handle basic alterations, as well as provide you with sewing lessons should you want to learn to do those things yourself. Contact me at alysa.eidmann@gmail.com if you are interested. Once I have pricing and a list of services offered they will go under the "Services" page below the new banner. 

Astute readers will notice that I've done a bit of rebranding. Let me know what you think as well!
