Matches your current serger thread ;)<br /><br />And if it's still a wash - maybe eeny-meeny-miney-moe!?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02897518449324641333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8132483453876386896.post-71934850568409650752016-04-28T21:08:13.553-04:002016-04-28T21:08:13.553-04:00all of these at some time.... all of these at some time....

I was thinking about how it's never a problem for me to have a messy sewing space since it's currently my sewing machine/server sitting on top of my ironing board in the living room and I have to set it up and take it down every night. Then I remembered how messy the diaper box that holds my current Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17887021258576377959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8132483453876386896.post-39478182857275893272016-04-28T15:31:04.236-04:002016-04-28T15:31:04.236-04:00No surprise, Becca hit it out of the park here.

Sometimes I'm caught in paralysis because I can't decide where to start. It is like having TOO much sew jo.

I work a full time job now and I tell myself I have no time to sew but in reality there is lots of time! I just have to split my sewing time into short periods and get out of the mindset of "I have to finish this today!" A little sewing time is better than no sewing time, after all!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872990508361504957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8132483453876386896.post-32257811964222922722016-04-28T13:18:08.721-04:002016-04-28T13:18:08.721-04:00#6 is my nemesis.

Messy house is the most frustrating, because when it comes down to it... an hour can load and unload a dishwasher, throw discarded socks and jackets in the laundry/closet, and tidy up to "good enough" status.

If its a project I aspired to long enough, I push myself to finish it. If it's a project I've lost interest in... I pitch it. I don't need that guilt hanging around my creative space!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02897518449324641333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8132483453876386896.post-36328673260079598412016-04-28T09:20:40.186-04:002016-04-28T09:20:40.186-04:00Hahahahahah!

Also, something that helps me with #6 is that no fabric designer wanted the fabric she designed to sit in someone's stash and never be used.

Another sew moj killer is an unfinished project that already takes too long. I therefore try to avoid creating ufo's by not cutting multiple projects, only one at the time. This avoids me losing interest in that project. Inspinrationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02706570385257768844noreply@blogger.com
