It's a little late in the game, but I'm going to join Su Sews So-So '12 in 2012' challenge. I found Suzie's lists so inspiring! Here's what I'm planning:

  6. Colette Patterns Jasmine blouse
  7. A McCall's "classic fit" shirt
  8. Knit top
  9. Lingerie item - perhaps a silk slip
  10. "Marilyn" dress - inspired by "Smash" television show
  11. Pencil skirt
  12. Slim stretch pants
12 Techniques to Try:
  1. Rolled hem
  2. Invisible zipper

January 2013 Update:
I didn't get very far on my garment list, even though I ended up sewing ten different garments.  So this year I'll be less specific with the 12 projects I plan to complete.
I'll keep plugging away on my techniques list.  I got through five last year, seven to go!
