Thank you Dianec42 for stepping in last week!

We're over the holidays! It's a new year! It's a good time to look back on last year. What did you get done that you're most proud of? What held you back? Is there anything you'd like to do more of?

Over at [community profile] allbingo the Public Domain Day Bingo Fest is on. Use the media coming into the public domain in your own creations, or just use the prompts as inspiration. Some of the big ones this year are the last of the Sherlock Holmes stories, the first three Hardy Boys books, and the Jazz Singer

And the standards: What are you working on now? What do you need encouragement on?

I started AND FINISHED a sewing project in just over 2 weeks!

Granted it wasn't the project I intended to finish, I'm still fairly pleased with myself. Usually it takes me forever to finish anything.

I finished a pair of fuzzy flannel pajama pants. If anyone wants to give this a go, it was pretty easy. I used the "Margo" pattern from Tilly & the Buttons (included with the book Love at First Stitch, but can also be purchased separately). I've had success with this pattern before so I felt pretty confident. The major addition this time was CARGO POCKETS. I found a video by Professor Pincushion on YouTube on how to design and sew cargo pockets which was very useful.

This is my second pair of flannel PJ pants. Now I can be warm even when it's laundry day, and have some idea where my pocket knife is, and have one less excuse for leaving my phone in random locations!

Edited to add: I'm very happy with 2022 in general. I finished several projects and did a decent amount of designing.

Good for you for a finish! I so far have not been inspired to try to make my own clothes, as I can generally find acceptable clothes commercially and I had sewing machines. So I'm very in awe of you actually doing this!
