This year for Me Made May my pledge was to sew for 25 minutes a day. I talked more about this in this blog post but in short, I wanted to sew more. I moved to Seattle almost two years ago and I’ve been spending a lot more time working on my house and garden. Sewing fell to the wayside, despite having a much bigger sewing space. So instead of the usual outfit challenge, I decided to intentionally devote more time to the practice of sewing.

I started off tracking daily but didn't track for more than a few days—mostly because I felt like tracking wasn't necessary and it was less fun than the actual sewing. Once I got started sewing again, my momentum, focus and energy developed quickly. Honestly, within a day or two, I was back in to the swing of things. Today, I'm sharing a few tips and insights into my sewing reboot.
