I read about "20 for 2020" on Instagram. The idea is to set 20 life goals, but I'm going to apply it just to sewing. So, here goes. I don't know if this will be realistic, but why not try?
1. Publish at least 20 blog posts during 2020. I only managed seven or so in 2019, but between my mother's illness and eventual death, the plumbing leak, and new flooring, I'm surprised I managed that many!
2. Participate in at least two challenges. Maybe sewalongs or ...? I plan on participating in #SewTwistsandTies on Instagram in January. I'm sure another interesting challenge will come up. Here's a "twist" I just made:
3. Perfect a work-appropriate trouser pattern for my daughter.
4. Organize my sewing studio.
5. Take a sewing class. Maybe this one:
6. Make a lined jacket.
7. Learn how to make bound buttonholes.

9. Continue my personal challenge: Conference Capsule.
10. Create a retirement wardrobe plan (it's about time!). I need/want a casual but stylish and put-together wardrobe for my newish lifestyle. These are some examples and all are things I could make:

11. Continue to visit fabric stores and fashion-related exhibits on my travels!

12. Be more active in the online sewing community.
13. Get over my fear of selfies and try to post some things I've made for myself. This is a hard one as I'm camera-shy.
14. Make zip-front jeans. I've made oodles of pull-on Eleonores, but I'd like to make more traditional jeans. Might work this one in with a class. Two birds!
15. Make some local sewing connections.
17. Make a vest. Maybe the Envigado:
18. Make a casual jacket/coat. Maybe the Kelly Anorak:
19. I haven't smocked anything for a long time. I'd like to reacquaint myself with the process and complete a smocked project.
20. Embellish an item with embroidery or needle felting. How cute is this?

Thinking up 20 sewing goals was a bit harder than I thought! But I think these are all achievable. What about you? Do you have sewing goals for 2020?
