Sewing For 2013

Having a sewing schedule worked pretty well for me over 2012 - although I didn't complete everything I'd planned, I did like having a framework to refer to. So I'm going for the same again in 2013. I'm not going into much detail here because I like the unveiling to be a surprise, but this is a little peek into what you can expect to see over the coming twelve months.
