I wrote down these sewing goals for myself at the beginning of 2009, but never published them as I started this blog later in January. Here they are... 1. Less yardage in than yardage out. Ideally, sew two pieces from stash for every one purchased. Well, I wrote that before I knew I was going to NYC. Purchasing nearly 50 yards of fabric there made it pretty hard to accomplish this goal! But, after checking my totals, I was surprised that the in/out numbers weren't farther from each other. I should note that I do a lot of rounding with my tracking, so these can't be considered much more than estimates. For 2009 - Fabric In: 90 yards; Fabric out: 84 yards. 2. Make a great white shirt. I didn't do this. I bought fabric in NYC and used a pattern candidate for a different shirt, but never got around to actually making the white one. I do have a white button-down shirt in my closet, but it isn't a great fit. I'm not sure I would wear it a lot even if
