If you're doing a SWAP, first make your list/plan of what you're making. Some of those things will be definites, some might be a little more iffy, but make the list. I'm not patient enough to storyboard it out; an Excel spreadsheet is good enough. But deciding what to make first is a huge mishmash of variables, including 'What thread is in the serger now', 'What patterns are TNT and ready to cut out', 'What do I NEED in the wardrobe soonest', and of course, 'What do I feel like sewing today?' I tend to do all similarly colored things toghether; that way I don't have to change the thread in the serger. I'd do knits together as much as possible so I wouldn't have to switch the double needle in and out so much...stuff like that. But I do start with the 'definite' pattern/fabric combos; by the time I'm done with those my choices for the other things has firmed up one way or another. Just keep sewing...:)Lisa Lareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11516986664460840579noreply@blogger.com
