My biggest challenge is just finding enough time to sew.
My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is getting started on my projects.
My biggest challenge is enough time.
ha my biggest challenge is both knitting and crocheting! I have been sewing since I was 8 but following directions for knitting and crocheting is beyond me!
My biggest sewing challenge is one, to make time to sew and two, I have the hardest time remembering to cut the little tabs when I’m cutting out a pattern.
My biggest sewing challenge is finding enough time to finish what I start. My husband and I are retired now, so it seems like it takes so much more time to do everything I used to. Could it be because he is around 24 hrs a day? Surely not!?
I have wanted a boy doll to use for Harry Potter ever since I read the first book! Being retired has also meant that my doll purchasing money has evaporated. I would really, really love to have Harry (I mean Logan) and my “girls” would love him. Do I sound like I am begging? Pick me, Pick me, Please!
Finding the time to actually sit down and be able to make something. Life seems to get in the way a lot, I have a teenage granddaughter that is busy with activities, mother in a nursing home. So I don’t get a lot of me time.
My biggest challenge is time. I have so many ideas, I may never get them all done.
My biggest sewing challenge is begin a bed quilt I have in mind. With lots of flowers appliqué and some embroidering. It is a chalenge!!
My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is That I see so many things I want to try, but never really get to due to making things for family. I think I need another jump drive for all the Patterns and ideas I have saved (already have 2 10 GB hard drives full. Lol
My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is cutting and sewing thin flimsy fabrics.
My biggest sewing challenge is making the time to do it. That & my rusty sewing skills (See first reason! ?)
My biggest challenge is having the time to really enjoy all the sewing projects I would like to do. I’m sure this is a problem we all have. Another sewing challenge is the exacting precision required working with the smaller scale required for doll clothes. But I love the challenge.
My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is finishing projects once I start them. I tend to have a lot of half finished projects all around, all the time. Crafters ADD. lol
My biggest sewing challenge is finding time to learn to use my Husqvarna Viking Huskylock 910 Computerized Sewing Machine. Youtube, here I come.
My biggest sewing challenge is, what next? I have lots of fabric, patterns and notions, but what do I want to make? I have a pincushion that states “Sew Many Things To Do”, that’s me!

My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is making enough time to get all my ideas into a finished item.
My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is a tie between three: sewing buttonholes, keeping topstitching neat, and keeping the right tension in knitting. Crochet is easy :D Love Pixie Faire!!

My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is Finding time to actually do them
My biggest challenge is finishing projects!
my biggest challenge is that I have so many projects and I want to do them all at once!
My biggest sewing challenge is working with thin knits. Specialty fabrics are no problem for me but these knits are very difficult to manage. Most of my adult sewing years have been spent sewing specialty gowns for dolls of collectors. Switching late in life to sewing casual outfits for 18" dolls for my gr-niece’s dolls has been an interesting challenge!
My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is taking my time; sometimes I’m so caught up in the end product that I go a little too quickly… but I know the item always comes out better when I take my time :)
My biggest sewing challenge is closures – I really need to work on my zippers and button holes. Thanks for the giveaway ?
My biggest sewing challenge is hemming super slick fabrics.
My biggest challenge is gathered tiny puff sleeves.
My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is small buttonholes. I have many of the same challenges that have been mentioned so it was hard to pick the biggest. Sewing on slinky material is a close second but hope to use some of the techniques I have learned to make it easier.
My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is putting aside time to actually complete projects.
My biggest sewing problem is that my ideas far outweigh my time to sew.
My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is keeping focused when interrupted from a great flow.
My biggest sewing, knitting and crocheting challenge is physical. I have arthritis in my hands and back and can’t alway sewing as much are as fast as I would like.
My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is finding the time to sew. Trying to balance school and life doesn’t give much time to actually sit down and spend time perfecting a pattern.
My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is finishing the project. I like to start things – buy the fabric – but actually finishing it — that is the challenge for me.
My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is finding the time for all of the projects that I love creating. I realize the key to completing all the projects is being totally ORGANIZED. So my BIGGEST CHALLENGE IS BECOMING MORE ORGANIZED AND STAYING THAT WAY.

My biggest sewing & knitting challenge is that I have lots of projects I want to do (and I often go so far as to get the materials) and then I can’t find the time. What does get completed is often finished at the very last minute – I finished sewing my wedding dress on the morning of my wedding!!
My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is staying motivated to finish my projects.
My biggest challenge is carving out time to make doll items! I have so many ideas that it’s overwhelming to choose a project, then to make it a priority to finish it! Matching outfits for 20 AG dolls…recreate Hogwarts in doll space…no problem! That’s what New Year’s resolutions are for, right?
My biggest sewing challenge is zippers and buttons. I would prefer to sew a whole outfit than sew on a few buttons. I usually can’t wait to start my next project and hand sewing finishing touches delays that, LOL.
My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is a sewing challenge.. calibrating my sewing machine seems to take so much time as I never seem to really get it right. Especially when changing feet.
My biggest sewing challenge is overcoming my fears of doing new things (zippers, buttonholes, working with this slippery/delicate fabrics). I’m hoping to make 2018 the time to conquer my fears. Thank you so much for providing me with the tools I need to make this happen!
My biggest challenge for all 3 is my tendency to procrastinate. I go all out once I’m started, but taking that first step is ridiculously difficult.

My biggest challenge today is a mystery quilt from last year that I need to sandwich and quilt on my home sewing mAchine. It is 102 × 102. Then I have scraps left over for doll clothes. A win win.
trying to downsize the material…I keep seeing more that I like. The room I use for sewing and crafts is now called “the factory” by the family.
“My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is so many ideas so little time, my stash grows with each idea!
My biggest sewing challenge is having a lack of patience!
My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is motivation and time! If only there was more time in a day to do more! Motivation is also a challenge for me because if there’s no motivation and I start sewing then everything just seems to go upside down especially with the excessive use of the seam reapper! Lol
My biggest sewing challenge is not to become discouraged if what I am making does not turn out exactly how I thought it should. I tend to be a perfectionist & that can be a problem when making tiny doll clothes,
My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is making the time.
My biggest crochet challenge is reading patterns…. Uh, I always read them wrong! And then I frog it and do it differently, and I realize I had it right the first time. Then I frog it again….
My biggest sewing, crocheting,or knitting challenge is finding the right material to match the project.
Finding enough time to do projects I want to do. And overcoming the fear of the “first cut”. Measure twice, cut once

My biggest sewing challenge is starting. As soon as I do I love it.
Hardest challenge for knitting and crocheting is getting my gauge accurate – sometimes it doesn’t seem to matter the size of needle. Will reduce length but not width.
My biggest challenge is deciding what fabrics/colours to use with what patterns. I love colours and textures!
My biggest sewing challenge is trying to find the time to finish all the projects I start; I still haven’t finished all the Christmas gifts I was making!
My biggest sewing and crochet challenge is understanding the instructions. I always depended on my mother to help but when I got married over 54 years ago I had to figure them out on my own. I still depend on pictures to guide me.
My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is where to store all the supplies!
My biggest sewing challenge is finding time and then making a decision as to what to sew next!
My biggest challenge is trying to get more organized so I can make all the things I have ideas for.

My biggest sewing challenge is staying organized!
My biggest problem with all projects is over committing to myself and underestimating the amount of time needed to finish the projects when needed (as gifts).
My biggest sewing, knitting or crochet challenge is not enough space to organize fabric, patterns and supplies. This makes it hard to get started on projects.
“My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is getting the project started.
Wow, What a great idea for our future scientists.
My biggest sewing challenge is deciding what to work on next! I have so many amazing patterns that I want to make.
I would love a boy doll. I only have one now, not 18" . I would stand him with my other 1 8" girls and they could play together.
My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is that I have too many projects that I am involved in and processes/techniques that I want to learn and/or perfect. Which to start and then to make myself finish that one.
My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is….lack of time! The business of life seems to get in the way of the FUN of life! I can never seem to find enough sewing time, although I crochet almost every evening while unwinding and watching TV. As for knitting, I have yet to learn, but hope to do so this year!
My biggest challenge, aside from having enough time, is old patterns with minimal instructions. Sometimes I just can’t visualize what I’m meant to do.
My biggest sewing, knitting or crocheting challenge is learning to knit with 3 needles and with a circle needle.
My biggest sewing, knitting or crochet challenge is/was the project I just finished for my mother. She and I both crochet, knit and sew, so finding something that she can not or will not make for herself is a real challenge. Two years ago, I found an embroidery machine design for some quilt square that you color in after stitching the design, then piece together the quilt. Sounded simple enough but I wanted to get the whole family involved-have you ever tried to get 20 people involved in the same project, and keep it a secret from the one person that has contact with all of them? I finally got the last two people to color in their squares so the weekend before Christmas so that I could give it to her at our family gathering this season. There is a whole lot more to the story but I thought I should keep it short for this.
My biggest crochet challenge is – I just can’t do it!!! I have tried many times and I just can’t get the hang of it.
My biggest challenge is finding time with two kids running around.
My biggest challenge is turning fabric around tiny neck holes. I end up just lining everything! I would say buttonholes and zippers but I never even try them. Maybe this year I will.

My biggest challenge is finding time to sew in my hectic schedule. It’s usually in the evening after a long day and depends on how much energy I have left to commit to a project. I get there eventually though! :o)
