Overwhelmed makes a tasklist

When I feel overwhelmed by everything I need to get done or feel like I need to get done, I make a tasklist. First I break it down into tiny little steps so that I can accomplish "more" or I write down things I've already done and cross them off the list. Either way works wonders! :D

Last night I was feeling quite overwhelmed by the sewing that I need/want to complete before I leave, so I made a tasklist.

Ball gown:
-Handstitch lining
-Handstitch hem
-Gathers on sleeves

Overskirt:
-Cut netting
-Sew netting to waistband
-Complete ties
-Handstitch waistband
-Gathers at hemline
-Finish bows and attach

Wool skirt:
-Sew front and back seams
-Check fit
-Serge side seams
-Install zipper and complete side seams
-Check that I like alterations I made
-Attach waistband
-Attach waistband facing
-Handstitch facing

Corduroy skirt: (finishing)
-Serge seamlines
-Install zipper
-Sew side seams
-Attach waistband facing
-Handstitch waistband facing
-Hem skirt

And on it goes....I feel better already!
