Career , Dreams and Sewing Goals for the new year
I believe that we are still very much new into the year and it won't hurt to keep more of the new year greeting coming. Hope we are adjusting well and making preparation ahead of the year.
We may not have had the chance to do so in the last week of December but it is neither too late to spell out some goals. Having set some sewing goals for last year I understood the importance of setting goals and how that has helped me to achieve huge success in my working career.
I have heard that an unwritten goal is like a wish I our head which can be easily forgotten and besides we may not pursue these goals with enough vitality and enthusiasm.
Writing down our goals makes the vision clear and we wake up each day to hit the road running and to do all it takes to achieve our goals.
Yesterday was a goal setting moment for me and while I had thought that it was a simple task meant to be done with within few minutes it was beginning to take longer than I can imagine. I realized that I had my lifestyle divided into several portions that needs a set goal under some of the following heading you see below.
- Set of rules/spiritual goals
- Career/Sewing goals
- Hive Blockchain/blogging goals
I am certain that there are some headings that are yet to come to mind.
The career/sewing is the only headline related here and this is the draft I made of it.
This is a bit blurry but I have it spelt out here.
My To buy list are
- Embroidery board
- Standing Mirror
- Green carpet
- Led lights and lightening for my working space.
- Cubboard and Hangers
- Weaving machine
- Steam press iron
- Stoning machine.
I am neither scared nor worried about the inflated prices of this items, I believe in taking things one step at a time and some saving goals from finances will help me achieve this. Any carry over of unpurchased item will be moved to another year.
We have the grace of more and more years ahead to achieve our dreams. Every year is an opportunity to try again rather than feel bitter that we didn't achieve everything in one year.
To-do list
I have equally spelt out my to-do list for the year which includes
- Signing and attending upgrade classes to enhance. Fashion never fades and if we wish to remain in business we must stay updated. Attending upgrade classes is one of the ways to expand our creativity and imagine if you can get that knowledge very cheaply
This December and January we have some top fashion designers who volunteer to teach these classes for a token on their telegram pages.
A list of some sewing courses you can take for only a dollar. Upgrade courses can be expenses and even up to a $100 dollar but you can learn some basics from watching courses that will be pasted in the classes listed above.
- Working on my exhibition, brand name, logo and business registration
As this wasn't achieved last year.
- Learn more about fabrics and create a fabric boutique/collection.
Creativity cuts across the types of fabrics we have in our cubboard, they give us inspiration most times and having a small cubboard with some fabric collections won't be a bad idea and would be beneficial to the business in a long run.
These are some of the major points I can call to mind for now and I might be added a few as I remember.
All images are mine and I have gotten them from an already established designer who is in business alread. They will serve as a guide for me on what I wish to achieve or possess in the future, and of course I can purchase better versions of whatever I see here.
I hope you achieve your goals before the end of the year and I know you can do it. Writing them down and focusing on them will help you achieve them.
And Aunty Mary's class is affordable.it is an inexpensive way to learn and also YouTube is another inexpensive way to learn too.
Aunty Mary is on YouTube too abi?
I will check her out.
Thank you for this helpful suggestion.
I really appreciate dear.
No, like you can learn on YouTube too as an alternative.

Like you, I think it is very important to write down our goals and future plans, this helps us to organize the actions we must take to reach them. Thank you for sharing your goals with us. I wish that everything you have written down will come true. Many blessings.
Amen, thank you for the blessing.
May we all find everything we are seeking for.
There is no substitute for hands on learning with a teacher. However, its much cheaper (and easier) to hunt for learning opportunities on free sites like Youtube. I'd make sure I checked out the free sources before doing the paid ones.
As for spending money to upgrade your workspace. Awesome idea. Just make sure that the expenses are going to bring enough increased income to make it worth their while.
On a curious note. I know you are great at sewing (I've seen your work) how hard is embroidering? It would be cool if you were able to put a HIVE logo on an item or two š
Just a fun thought.
Good luck.
I already make enquiries for the hands on learning with a teacher offline here just to learn the basics of male fashion but the price was a bit outrageous, about a hundred thousand naira. I have other engagement that needs such funds for now. Will start learning online first and if it doesn't make meaning, I will take that option. Knowledge is getting expensive by day even if it is in skilled work like this.
I do check out fee sources too.
This paid one is really cheap and from professional top designs, they make YouTube videos that are restricted from people who do not pay
Here I paid just $3 for 3courses.
It's a penny worth throwing up and if I didn't get much success with it, it won't hurt much
I will try my hands on the embroidery. Although they come in different types, pearl/bead work, yarn embroidery and embellishment with previous stones...
A typical bead work I did last year
I know your smart with your money and won't throw it away :) Good luck in choosing the right courses and getting what you need to become an even better seamstress :)

Writing out our goals helps to keep track of our progress and also remind us what we are suppose to achieve.
I believe all these you have written will come through for you this year. All the best in establishing and making your brand well known
Thanks dearie. I really appreciate this.
I agree with you, having a well written goals goes a long way in how much commitment we will give to that goal.
In person training can be quite expensive, it is nice you are going with the online courses and relatively cheap ones. After learning those ones, you can now decide if in person training is still something you want
Exactly dear.
Thanks for stopping by.
I learned from you that no knowledge or skill is a waste,so Iām sure all these investment will be worth it.
Yes dearie. Just put your best in everything you do. Thanks for stopping by
Great post, dear @monica-ene !! I always love your optimism and focussed work ethic, brava! I look forward to seeing your epic progress in the year unfolding! Many blessings of abundance to you in your beautiful work!
I made something like this for myself too. I hope you get all these tho.
Having separate goals by category seems like a great plan to me, it is a little of what I did for last year, although not everything happened, this year I did something similar, I think it is a good point to be organized and know where to put more energy or more money.
I hope that the list at the end of the year will have many things crossed out because you already accomplished them, good luck :3
Step by step you will build your skills and collect tools. You have a good plan. !CTP
Thank you so much š„°š
