Hello lovely people. First off, I would like to wish every one a happy new year. I don't know about you, but I'm ready to say good-bye to 2016. Here is to wishing everyone a healthier 2017 filled with fun in the sewing room. May all your 2017 dreams come true!
Sewing:
This month, I really pushed myself to get sewing done. Snow storms forced me to finish up a winter coat and I was busy with Christmas sewing right up until the last minute.

I'm happy to report that I'm finishing the year without any RTW purchases this final month. Woohoo!
The Stats:
Looking back at the stats maybe next year's goal should be to sew just from my fabric stash?
