I have always wanted to do a challenge of some kind on my blog to hopefully have a support group behind me helping me reach some of my goals. When I set challenges with other people I'm more likely to reach them.
My goal for 2012 is to finish twelve costumes! One a month, for 12 months. It is the year of twelve! I have a pile of fabric that is all intended for costumes and I need to finally make myself sit down and make them as well as a few unfinished costumes I hope to finish.
So what do you think? Do you have a similar goal? Maybe yours isn't costumes but quilts, or something knitted and so on. But even a knitted projects could work as a costume...depending what it is. :)
I'm not sure what costumes I will make yet but the collage here is an inspiration board for things I've always wanted to make. I have already been working on my first costume which you will see here soon!
If you want to join this particular challenge then leave a comment and every month post photos of your finished costume and share the link!
Look forward to seeing what you all will make in the new year!
LOVE this idea! I wish I had the motivation to sew a costume each month. I have a big long list of projects that I want to accomplish this year though. Good luck on your challenge!!
ReplyDeleteWell I am a little in awe here... I think it's a brilliant (and motivating) challenge, and you have the best attitude to get right into it. I have my own little challenge going on this year (in the form of mixed media and papercraft but with a touch of fabric in there somewhere so who knows where that will lead...) but I am hoping to follow along with you and give you any moral support when necessary!! :D
ReplyDeletePlus I am just dying to see what creations you come up with.
So yeah - go for it!! And enjoy.
This is so funny! I am also on my own challenge for 2012 to finish 12 quilts. I have a list of my UFOs (UnFinished Objects) and put them in order of simplest/quickest to most time consuming. I've already had 2 finishes and am hoping for a third before the end of January. The only reason I'm trying to crank them out so quickly is that I don't know what kind of time I'll have after May. I look forward to seeing how you're doing throughout the year!
ReplyDeleteYes, please, make them and come to Oregon so we can do a photo shoot!:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your encouragement. I am excited!
ReplyDeleteVeronica, you're amazing!
Marina, I would LOVE that! Seriously. :)
I do! I do!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to start right now. lets see it's already the 17th... Does it have to be a specific from-a-movie costume? or could it be one I designed?
Aimee
Aimee, no it doesn't have to be from a movie, you can definitely design it!
