“My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is have time to finish the project…
Biggest challenge—getting started on a project. Unfortunately, that applies to sewing, knitting, and crocheting. Plus just about everything else I need to do. LOL
My biggest sewing challenge is using my time wisely.
My biggest sewing challenge is keeping things organized while doing a project as I have a small house and no specified room to sew (& leave the mess until next time). I won’t throw scraps away as they can be used for doll clothes or quilts.
My biggest challenge is finishing a project once I start it
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.)
My biggest challenge is finding the time
“My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is Staying focused on one project, instead of hopping between several and never finishing any
My biggest challenge in the creative field is FOCUS! I get started and somebody (hubby) needs food, or wants to take me to a movie, or my granddaughters are bored at home and want to come to my house. Haha, such problems! Seriously, this is the BEST giveaway possible! Logan and a whole wardrobe! Come to mama!
Finding enough time to create, every moment, of every hour of every day because I LOVE it! A Happy and Creative New Year ’2018 to all : D xo

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.

Having so much fabric and ideas but noy enough lifetimes to use it all.

“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.
