Whim 14 is complete. It’s blue flowers and exposed blue zipper made the decision for shoes easy, and Anna models it here with her Killer Blue Shoes. Oooh, these shoes! I remember when we found them, on a clearance rack, … Continue reading
Today marks the completion of Whim 1 and I wanted to give you all a peek!
Whim 1 complete
Though my daughter Anna requested pockets be added to this design, the finished dress actually fit my daughter Isabella better. (Check out the history of this little dress in my previous post, Unfinished Business.)

Idea board for Whim 2 will be up tomorrow night. I’m thinking more unfinished business and something warm for these cold cold cold nights we’ve been having here in eastern Pennsylvania.

A year of whims lies ahead. Where to begin? With unfinished business. Rivaling my addition to fabric is my passion for beginning a project. I love to draft or prep the pattern, alter for design and fit, and cut. I’ve … Continue reading
I’m a fabriholic. I love fabric and I love a good deal, and when I find the two together, I usually buy some [more] yardage. Over the years, this addiction has translated into a sizeable stash of assorted fibers and motifs. Though I frequently draw on this stash for a new project, I also frequently add to my stash. I’m not sure there’s enough time in my life to use all the fabric I have accumulated, but this year I am making a focused effort toward that goal.
I want to create a whim a week in 2014. The rules are simple. Complete one project every seven days using fabric on hand. As much as possible, spend time but no money. Perhaps I need more rules, but I have to begin somewhere.
It’s a whim a week because I want the creative license to make what I feel like making, inspired by the fabric from my stash and life, whatever is anticipated in the next seven days, ongoing.
Today I begin with this post: I commit to a whim a week for the next 52 weeks. By midnight next Tuesday, January 7, 2014, I’ll have my first completed project posted.
The first idea board will be up tomorrow night.
