My biggest sewing challenge is working with visual impairment. I’m not so bad as to need a magnifying glass all the time, but I have problems with the smaller things and have had to give up on a few things like counted cross stitch.I depend on extra lighting to help me see and still love to hand stitch.

My biggest project with sewing these doll clothes is finding time to get to my shop to sew,. I like the smaller accessories like backpacks and purses, . I haven’t sewed in the small zippers , they’re hard to find. I also try to sew kid friendly clothes and a little boy doll would be another challenge.

My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet is finding time to start and complete projects. I do all three crafts and make things for others. One of my little boys has a Logan doll. I have made him two knitted hats and embroidered Christmas pjs that I purchased from a blanks company. I have purchased a few of the boy doll patterns, but taking the time to make them has still eluded me. I would love to get another Logan doll for my other son. We just saw Star Wars The Last Jedi, and this outfit is definitely on their wish list!

Oh, easy today!! My biggest sewing and crafting challenge is finishing projects! If you’re looking for difficulties instead—it’s thin, formal or knit fabrics as I only have a one very old sewing machine that I love otherwise. It was bought new “on payments” in 1973 and is a Sears Kenmore with design cams and buttonhole attachment. lol

My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is firstly to be able to knit something that actually fits me and not three of me. I would love to crochet, but the patterns are not easy to read. I love sewing and have been making clothes for myself, my children and now my grandchildren. I love making clothes for my beautiful American Girl doll which I swopped with my American granddaughter. She got the South African GIrl doll in exchange.

“My biggest sewing, and crochet challenge is not enough time to craft and availability of resources and supplies as I live 1 &1/2 hours from town and there is only Walmart and a loca Quilt shop in town. There in’t much for classes near me, so I learn a lot from youtube and order a lot I have shipped to me. I haven’t figured out how to better the time issue. Space would be my third challenge, I out grew my little sewing room long ago.

Wow! What a generous offering today. My biggest sewing challenge is allowing myself time to sew. With 3 children, there’s always house chores to do and I have a hard time putting those aside to sew. It’s actually one of my New Years resolutions to allow myself the time to sew. I have so many ideas in my brain that I would love to realize this year!! Not to mention the ones I could add with all of those big sewing patterns and a model for them!! Thanks for the opportunity and good luck to everyone! I hope all your sewing dreams are realized in 2018 too!

I love my boy dolls! So GLAD the world of dolls is acknowledging that boys are needed – and delighted that they are wanted.
My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is that I am fast approaching 70 years of age, and the Internet has made it so easy to acquire exciting wonderful beautiful patterns that I have too many to hope to complete them. Storing the patterns is no problem – except trying to remember what I have and where on my computer! (So I have binders full of patterns I have printed, but a lot of printed patterns take up little space really.) No, really the worst problem is my embarrassment at just how much yarn I have bought online and have had shipped to my modest home over many years, which I have not used yet, and so and have to find room for.
