At least it's finished

Yesterday afternoon, I finished sewing the buttons on the too snug shirt. Phineas tried it on; yup, definitely too snug. Oh well. At least now I can stop looking at it crumpled up on the rocking chair in the corner of the room. Maybe I will give it to Goodwill.

Also, I am almost done with both my maxi dress and tank top, although each will get it's own post as soon as I do some photographing. Both projects were quick and easy, which has me thinking about how I want to direct my sewing efforts.

Since my sewing time is limited right now, should I stick to quick and easy projects? If I did, I might have more to show for my hobby and get more satisfaction out of it. I definitely like completing projects quickly and adding to my wardrobe. And when a project doesn't work out, there hasn't been the huge investment of time that leads to disappointment. However, I do want to make pants; that is the flip side of the argument.
