Do you have a whole list of sewing projects you want to try this year? When Jessica from Me Sew Crazy asked if I'd be a part of her New Year's ReSEWlution series, I started to feel overwhelmed at all the things I'd like to attempt this year as far as sewing, techniques I want to try and projects I want to do. Then I started to panic about which one to choose to share. I thought, this is silly! What is it I really need to do to simplify? So, my reSEWlution is to focus on some projects I've already started (in the case of this coat, YEARS ago) to just finish them. I plan to toggle back and forth between the projects in my head and the ones sitting around, waiting to be hemmed or buttonholed. Hop on over there to see my post on how to decide what exactly to do with all those unfinished projects you've got hanging around.

I'll BEE so interested to hear more about that. Cute coat!
Your hair and your coat are equally adorable!
Ooh! This makes me want to paint my hives bright green :)
I keep thinking I might actually finish the Christmas quilt I started ....years & years.... Ago.
thank you so much again for being a part of the Series! Your style is as always flawless, and your tips are fantastically on point :)
I want to learn some new techniques this year and copycat more patterns. I don't leave things undone usually so I don't have anything to finish. I want to get an early start on spring dresses this year.
Do you have bees now? So exciting! Guess you are never coming up this way for awhile then, huh?
LeighAnn--I'm impressed you don't have any unfinished projects! Good job.
Astorga Crew--they're the neighbors bees :( One day...
I LOVE your coat!!!
It's a GREAT coat. You look beautiful!
Katy, you're so pretty in this coat! :o)
Love this coat. Is the pattern still in print?
I've only recently subscribed to your blog. Today I am admiring your first picture. Most notable are the greens on the hives and buttons, and the blue in your eyes. Just a stunning picture!
I am a total coat lover and that one is awesome Katy! Love the contrasting green buttons! You've got an eye girl!
As a beginner at sewing (I'm talking has to have instructions to thread the sewing machine) I want to get more familiar with the sewing machine my dad bought me that has only made it out of the box to be admired. I would like to make a quilt for my youngest sons bed. After that we will see. :)
You look so pretty! Love the coat and the big green covered buttons. You've been a busy girl this week!
You amaze me. :)
So are these some of the beehives you hope to have some like one day or are they yours?
Yay did you start your beehives?!?
Beautiful photo...
I certainly have plenty of unfinished projects! I need to make more time for sewing/crafting.
@ cehendricks - I started off as a total novice too; luckily enough my mum helped me a lot (the biggest tip she gave me (apart from slowing down to get a straighter line!) was actually: if something seems wrong on your machine, try re-threading it as 75% of the time that's your problem!)
There are loads of great websites and blogs which can help you get started and it's so satisfying when you finish your first project!
Good luck!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the coat. Was this your own design or did you create from a pattern? Would love to give it a go myself. :)
Thanks for sharing.
Very cute coat! I enjoyed your post over there.
And you have bees...! We started in as beekeepers last year and love it!
