Talking to a friend yesterday I came to the realization that I don't sew for myself. I'll sew for anybody else, for any reason, but never for me. One t-shirt, one halter, and one handbag. That's it. So she mentioned challenging me to one wearable item, for myself, every month for a year. So I'm upping the anty, I'm challenging all of you. And I'm offering a craft-worthy prize. Something fun, something you'll like. So here's the deal:
1. You must sew one wearable item for yourself, every month, for one full year beginning in January, 2008.
2. Item can be sewn, knit, or crocheted.
3. Post a picture of you wearing your item, here: http://www.flickr.com/groups/at-home-challenge/
4. I'll keep a spreadsheet and everyone who completes the 12 months will be entered, lottery style to win a box of crafty goodness. I'll use random.org to pick a winner on January 1, 2009.
Are you up for it? Comment to get on the list.
Absolutely. I'm in. (It was sort of my idea, afterall ...)

I'm in! I'm pretty good at crocheting, but I'm pretty inexperienced at sewing and have not done knitting. I'm hoping, though, that this group will keep me motivated to make my own clothes, instead of just clothes for others or to sell! I also hope to see my improvement each month. How fun!
