My greatest challenge is tidying up the house so that I can sew without guilt that I should be cleaning out kitchen draws, reducing garage clutter, writing letters, etc. Truth is – I’d rather be creating new dolly dresses, skirts, PJs, etc. I love playing with my (yet to be given to) granddaughter’s AG dolls. (She is only 2 years old so she can wait.)

I am a way more experienced seamstress than a knitter or crocheter, but I do like to dabble. I struggle with gauges, and harder patterns have me undoing and redoing a lot.

My biggest sewing and crocheting challenge is to make two patterns now once I get started. I sew for two grandchildren and they have different requests. I used to be able to make the same patterns for them only in different colors but that is a challenge now for me to do. You always learn from mistakes once you make one but now I have to make a different pattern. It is still fun but more of a challenge.

My biggest challenge is time. I only have small amounts of time to sew or knit at any one time. This is especially difficult with sewing as I do not currently have a dedicated sewing space and have to take stuff out and put away.. it eats into my sewing time.
Having said that, I also have problems with fasteners. No matter what I choose, it always seems to ruin the line of the clothes. Either that or they are too small for little hands to use.

“My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is finding the time to just sit and create especially when it comes to sewing. I have a disabled husband in an electric wheelchair that I have to help him into and out off, along with all his care and tending. Also care for my 2 granddaughters aged almost 6 this month and 7 been doing this for 5 years now for our son a single Dad. The mom just took off when the youngest just turned 1 she had been screwing around since the baby was 5 months old and I was taking care of them more and more. Anyway it is hard to find the time to do anything besides the mending for the girls, but do some knitting, or crocheting doll clothes for their dolls in the evenings while watching tv. But this year I will try and find the time to get some wonderful sewing patterns done for the girls. I have Batgirl and Supergirl costumes to make for the dolls, also dresses for Easter and after I finish the red sweater I have to make the plaid pleated skirt and blouse to go with it along with a pair of shoes and clogs made from plastic canvas for the 18th of January when the youngest turns 6.
