CTAAAAAAAAHHHH

I would define my Personal Call to Action as the, "get your toosh into gear" goals. Which I'm actually heavily involved in, believe it or not. I scoured my mom's storage unit and found her sewing machine. Do I sew? Heck no, techno. But I'm learning for the sake of this company, by George! So I've taught myself how to sew a simple line. Enough to hem things. I fixed the hems of all of my skirts and dresses, and even took a few of my favorite oversized, underpriced thrift store finds. So that was step one, aside from all the other steps that I've taken, like calling manufacturers, drawing designs, and brainstorming patterns.

So here are the things I'm putting off. Here's my personal call to action:

-PICK OUT FABRIC. Order swatches, go to a fabric store, just get your hands on something.
-Order a small amount, just enough to have a prototype made.
-Have a prototype made. I already know who I want to have make it. I should probably just ask her, she's a good friend of mine.

I don't know if I've mentioned this, I'm sure I have, but part of my procrastination to fully implement this was because I'm broke, broke, broke. Dane had the idea of starting small, with pins and hats, just to start building funds, and I told him we could work on that together. So we've been dually designing pins and hats and trying to find manufacturers for that as well.

So that's that. Mrs. Kathy, I hereby vow to pick up progress on findings fabrics! That's my next step, and I'll do it this week.

Challenge accepted!
