My biggest challenge is time and the fact that my daughter in law finds new projects faster than I can finish the current project. I love to sew, but I am pretty slow at it. She thinks it only takes an hour to make a doll outfit.

Gloria

My biggest challenge is keeping everything reasonably neat while I sew. My boys built me a wonderful sewing room and it is full of totes and sewing stuff. My grandkids also use a section of it as a playroom. I really need to take time to organize it so I can find what I need. The closest store is a hundred mike trip, so this is a major issue.

My biggest sewing challenge is finding the time to sew doll clothes. I really enjoy it and it’s disheartening to realize how little time I’ve had to do so this last year. A close second would be stretchy materials. I tend to avoid those where possible. One day I’ll have to learn tticks about how to sew those…when I have time.

My biggest sewing challenge is finding the time to do it and also taming the perfectionist in me
