Back at the end of September I posted a pretty lofty sewing plan for fall/winter, especially considering fall was well underway! lol
My initial plan was as follows:
••• black linen dress pants
••• blue Anise jacket
••• navy print Jasmine
••• red Renfrew
••• navy wool skirt or shorts
••• vintage gray shirt dress
Of those six pieces I’ve completed three, but I also added in a silk dress for Christmas, a dress shirt for my man, and yoga pants. So the number of projects is on track but I’ve still got a ways to go to finish my initial plan.
There was a second part of that plan involving another six garments for winter but I think that will require some revamping now. I think five per season is a more realistic base, and allows more time for muslins & test garments.
So I removed the wool shorts & added them to my Spring plan instead, for starters. Then taking the two remaining pieces on my fall plan and adding three from my winter plan, this is my new updated Winter SWAP:
••• navy print Jasmine
••• red Renfrew
••• self-drafted wool pencil skirt
••• navy cigarette pants
••• red cardigan
I chose the most practical items from my winter plan to add. I’m dying to make the Tiramisu dress but I’m gonna be strong and add that to my spring plan instead, which is already in the works!! (wait til you see my colour palette!!)
LOL so many ideas… so little time!
One thing I’ve come to realize is I’ve improved my productivity; at the beginning of the year I was lucky to make one thing every month or two – now it’s an average of two per month!! Much better! 
I’ve also learned that I need to plan in shorter sections to allow for seasonal needs (like Christmas), test garments, and extra necessities (like comfy clothes and maybe lingerie!)
I’m definitely still learning, but I can see progress and that’s pretty awesome! ^__^
Great plan! And super productivity!
I need to SWAP but life keeps getting in the way. I’m not sweating it. Sewing is still just a hobby for me right now.
Great blog this year BTW.
Thank you so much! It’s super nice to hear feedback, especially since I’m only a year deep in both blogging and sewing – it means a lot to me
I think it’s great you’re not sweating it – sewing should be fun, not a chore ^_^ I only really need to plan cause I seriously have no clothes and this is the only way I can build a wardrobe! lol
Man anyone with a plan is awesome in my book because I am not good a sewing plans. I kinda do one project at a time that is constantly interrupted by other sewing projects! Oh well, c’est la vie.
Your plans sound cool though ….. interesting too so I shall plan vicariously for the time being
)
Thank you! Haha, I know what you mean about interrupting yourself; even with a plan, I still managed to do that
I keep trying plans, but they never work out. Good on you for having one and sticking to it!
Thanks Lizzie!
I’m still working on actually following through with it, but it’s a start 
I made a huge spring lust and made very little of it. I’ve made a lot of things just not the things on the list. Clearly I’m that kid in class who gets distracted and then disrupts other students…
Lol Lizzy; despite my best efforts I can’t help being that kid sometimes too
At least you’ve made a lot of nice things… doesn’t matter how you got there ^_^
you are making progress! I can definitely see that. I can’t wait to see how much better you get in 2013!
Thank you so much Maddie! Me too! ^_^ I can’t wait to see more of your recent photo shoot!
Fantastic plan, and I like the list… very yummy set of garments and colours there. Me likey. Good luck! and wishing you all the best for the New Year.
Thank you so much Carolyn! You’re so sweet
All the best in the new year to you and yours as well ^_^
I’ve just discovered your blog and wanted to tell you I what you’ve been making (especially love your first jacket – wow – and your divine details vintage dress). I look forward to seeing you tick off your 2013 list!
Thank you so much, Gabrielle! I’m so glad to meet you! I’ll be posting updates very soon!
