I hope everyone got to ring in the new year in style with friends or loved ones. I’m still unsure of how I passed from 2010 into 2011 as I am pre-authoring this post here, so we’ll all find out later. As for the new year, I’m making a few resolutions, mostly pertaining to my personal life or business but I have one or two for here as well, and here they are in no particular order…
∆ I would really like to do some tutorials or downloadable pdf patterns of some of the things I sew for myself. Most of the things I sew for myself are made from patterns I draft myself and I’ve gotten some requests to make these available over the past year. I’m hoping this year to make that a reality, so if you have any requests let me know!
∆ Another for 2011 is that I am going to try to connect with other people / bloggers more. I am pretty shy and that doesn’t stop in the real world but extends here as well. I read a ton of blogs but rarely comment, so this year I am going to try to change that. Conversely, if you’re over here, don’t hesitate to say hi or leave me a link to your blog.
∆ Finally, dude, Jen, start using more film! My digital camera is basically junk after serving me since early to mid 2004 so unsurprisingly my Cannon AE-1 actually takes better photos. This camera was my mom’s, she and my dad bought it for her a month or so before I was born to take photos of me. Along with this I would like to start using some of my Grandpa’s old cameras. He was a camera man for CBS so, even though we sold most of them when he died, we have a ton of his old cameras and lenses.
So that’s that, a fresh year starting, happy 2011 everyone!
Oooo… I would love to see some downloadable patterns! That would be so cool

Am excited to hear about tutorials/downloadable patterns! The tank you made over the summer was super cute. Cheers to 2011!
Happy New Year to You. I know what you mean about shyness in connecting with other bloggers. Feel free to pop over and say hi!

but yeah, you are pretty social on my blog! thank you
Hooray! I am so happy to hear you say these things — I think that meeting you and Sarah and Caitlin and Casey (etc.!) was a major highlight of a year in which I met so many sweet talented ladies for real, and it was amazing. Also, tutorials?! YES PLEASE.
Happiest new year to you, lovely Jen! xoxo
Hi Jen, I'm a big admirer of your blog and clothing line. Really lookin forward to any tutorials/patterns you put up(I really liked the tanks and tunics your've made – maybe one of these?) Cheers, Karen
Thanks ladies! I'm working on making the little pocket tank into a pattern right now, hopefully it goes well!
I am really looking forward to tutorials or patterns from you. I love your tanks and I'd really like to make that color block dress you made a while back. Love your work, Kati
