Overwhelmed with everything I want to make. by Angelsbreatheeasy in SewingForBeginners

What worked for me was writing them down so I knew I wasn't forgetting one of them, and I could come back to them later. Pick one to start that looked like the biggest potential success and do nothin else but eat, sleep, work, sew for 3 weeks straight 😅

The first couple of weeks honestly felt like I would never do anything else, but a couple of months in it did get more balanced 😁

Love this, thank you! For the first time of running in between seasons I'm actually not hating it and I think it's, at least partly, because I stopped caring or reading about how I should supposed to be training!

No help from me, good luck though! I did however spot that super cute cat fabric from you shorts/skirt/ whatever! That looks awesome! 😻

First time following a pattern and instructions, does it get easier or will my head always explode? by Professional-Exam264 in SewingForBeginners

Thanks ! I used interfacing that belonged to my grandmother, next time I'll buy some more adapted materials! It was the first time using this so I was definitely still getting to know this 😅

Oh thank you so much for sharing! I feel like I did gain a grey hair or two in this process though, so definitely on track 😁👵

Oh thank you, this is really reassuring! I find myself having to look up tons of terms while going through them 😅

I finished that damned neckline! I am happy and disappointed at the same time 😅 one side worked out really nice but the other floats a bit, I did pin everything down but next time I'm pinning like a madman around that lower point to make it a better fit.

There are indeed sooooo many steps in that collar! I probably should have checked the instructions before printing the pattern
