The Reasons I've Stopped Sewing

I am full of excuses.
*Large Labored Sigh*
  1. I have no space to sew. My apartment is very small and while my husband is fine with my getting my sewing stuff set up, I feel awful and cluttered when my stuff is all over the living room.
  2. I always feel discouraged. When I do set my machine up, I feel like I have to make something great, but nothing I have ever made has really lived up to my expectations of great. I start lamenting about projects unfinished and how messy my stash is and over all just become so upset that I put everything away again.
  3. I had started a project I was really excited about, a quilt for someone who was really close to me, but that person and I have grown very far apart and I have a hard time looking at the project without getting depressed. I spent a lot of money on the fabric for the project and would like to finish it, but it's so unique that no one else would appreciate it and I just can't bring myself to make something for that person.

  1. Sometimes finding inspiration and space to do crafty things is difficult. I too have not been sewing as much as I should, My list of projects continues to grow, and yet I don't seem to accomplish any. But you are always welcome to use my sewing room, while it is drafty, there is space, and I have heaters and blankets. So maybe you should work on that quilt. Maybe I should work on my projects. I believe I owe you a skirt, a bag and a dress for your mom.
