The Rules

The rules for my sewing challenge:

• When I say 101 unique sewing projects, that means no repeats!
• For example, if I make a bag I love and decide I'd like to repeat it in another fabric, the second bag does not count as one of my 101 projects. 
• However, if I make a bag with one pattern and a different bag with a different pattern, that counts. 
• Quilts are exempt from the "unique" rule.  Each quilt is inherently unique, not to mention difficult to do. So, if I do two quilts in a similar style, each quilt counts as a new project.
• One of my major goals is to show how to make really great projects on a tight budget.
• I am a stay-at-home mom, so we don't have lot of extra cash. Bargain-hunting will be my new profession! To save some cash, I will avoid buying patterns and fabric at full-price and will always attempt to use either fabric I already have, something on sale, or even maybe find some used items at a thrift store to tear apart and put back together. -- This will be my hardest rule. I have a habit of falling in love with certain patterns or materials and nothing else will do!
• I will take pictures as I go to do my best to document how I put each project together.
• Part of learning is to continue to push oneself to learn more. As I go, I will try to take on more difficult projects, with the end goal of creating my very own pattern of some sort, whether it be clothing, a bag, a baby carrier, etc.
• I will rate each project based on ease, enjoyability, and the final product (did it turn out like I hoped it would).
• Each time I post a new project, I will keep track of what # project it is, how many days left I have, and how much the project cost.
• And lastly, I want to have fun doing this!
