[ephwhyell volume 0.3 header image]



So, we're going to go ahead and jump right in!
In short, I've chosen two books to study.
I will purchase both of them,
so that I can easily reference them at my leisure,
and because I will be working directly out of them. 



Textile Identification, Conservation, and Preservation
by Rosalie Rosso King
[677.02864 K]

to be purchased
as a reference guide
bc goddamn
there's so much information in here!






The Sewing Book
by Alison Smith, MBE
[646.2 Sm]

sew.alison on ig
[omg, she followed me back, and she commented on my post!
&honestly
it was exactly what i needed to make sure that i do this thing quick and at my best
cause the literal author is going to see whatever work i post!
i didn't think that i could be more excited
but i am!
the author is alive and well

The above syllabus is The Pace Car
I may not work any slower than this,
but I absolutely may work faster than this, 
if I can/want to.

My goal is to work five (5) days a week,
for three hours
minimum
I can obviously work as much as I can/want.

I must create a tkscmdotcom post at the completion of every week.

I may complete more than one week's worth of work each week,
and I may complete less than one week's worth of work each week,
but I cannot go one full week without doing any work,
except the one scheduled week off (Week Nine).

I am also going to read my periodicals when applicable
(none of them are weekly, lol)
&I will read through my #BookHaul books
&I will do four rounds of #BookHauls
(you can see the #firsthaul here)
Round Two will be hauled around Week One
Round Three around Week Twenty-One
Round Four around Week Forty-One

I will also complete all of the exercises (the "Assignments") in the book,
and I will create videos (as often as I have the energy) of my assignments.
I will also create one social media post for my fashion socials for each completed week.

&all of this is on top of my regular reading &writing
lol


&we're back to the tracker!
(this is sample one)
the best way to really plow through a shit-ton of work is by tracking your progress

[below]
on the left you can see sample tracker two
(i still have a few days until Week Zero to continue tightening the prepping/planning)
on the right you can see the page where i will list each of the assignments for easy reference

&i am using a sketchbook as my notebook for this tracker
graph paper to create the tracker itself
along with a ruler &exacto knife
&a mix of calligraphy, Sharpie &Stabilo pens, and pencil
along with some color-coordinated Avery dot office stickers






all-in-all
this Volume ought to be pretty straight-forward
*yippie*

I will link each of the completed week posts to its corresponding line item in the above syllabus.
You can easily bookmark this page to follow along as I sew my way through The Sewing Book! 

Thanks for being here, tuning in!
Feel free to point me in your direction
if you, too, are main-questing a Dream

^,,^

we wish you well on your Quest
