sewing updates

Severely underestimated how long it takes to plan and sew even a thrift flip. As a recap, this is what I wrote in my previous post:


Sewing Goals:

  1. Crop 3 Tops – Only completed 2, one of which I was more ambitious and added drawstring features

  2. Clone 1 Top – Done with tracing the patterns but I realised I didn't have enough fabric and would probably have to use 2 shirts. Might end up as a reversible top!


Anyway I realised these goals are not very well written because they don't follow the SMART format. Because what ended up happening was I got side tracked with other projects...


Projects that I've completed:

  1. Mended a hole in denim overalls

  2. Replaced a spoilt elastic in a dress

  3. Started on an embroidery kit

  4. Built a home for my scrunchies

  5. Fixed curtain hooks

  6. Changed a window UV filter

  7. Assembled a new shoe cabinet

  8. Completed a 72 Hour UX Challenge


In the perspective of the sewing goals it would look like I've failed but I still take it as a win though. In that time I've worked simultaneously on other projects that were also relevant and interesting to me.

SMART Goals Recap

  • Specific: clear and well-defined, leaving no room for ambiguity. It answers the questions of who, what, where, when, why, and how.

  • Measurable: quantifiable metrics that allow you to track progress and determine when the goal has been achieved.

  • Achievable: realistic and attainable given your current resources and constraints. It should be challenging but not impossible.

  • Relevant: aligns with your overall objectives and values. It should be meaningful and contribute to your broader success.

  • Time-bound: a specific deadline or timeframe for completion. This creates a sense of urgency and helps you stay focused.
