My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is that my hands just aren’t as handy as they used to be due to inflammation in my joints. I can’t knit at all any more because of the condition. Crocheting, sewing, and longarm quilting are still a go for which I am extremely thankful.

My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is yes, time, but more accurately fast set up/tear down & the determination to keep going while I can. I don’t have a studio where I can keep my stuff up all the time & it takes so much time to drag it out, then its in every ones way & then put it all away is really hard. it becomes such a pain sometimes I just don’t do it. then people want food & stuff? what?! but omg.. I would LOVE this prize!!!

My biggest knitting, sewing or crocheting challenge is not having a dedicated space for my swing machine. I have to clear a space and say up the machine every time I want to sew. I find it rather “un-motivational.”

My bigest challenge is staying organized. The yarn stash is fairly well organized now. But sewing projects involves a search. And since my husband also sews, keeping our projects separate, he uses the “pile” method, since there’s only one crafting space for us both. We always have several sewing or crocheting projects going at once.

“My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is keeping the appropriate seam allowance as I go around curves and keeping the stitching in a neat line. It tends to woggle all over, mostly too narrow and often with weird points as I try to correct. It results in fitting problems later. :(

My biggest sewing, knitting or crochet challenge is not knowing how to knit or crochet. Both my grandmothers tried to teach me but gave up. Both were teachers and had taught lots of kids to do it. None of us could understand why I had so much trouble. Maybe I’ll try again after I retire. My biggest sewing challenge is zippers in tiny garments.
Also want to say that outfit is incredible! Thank you for the opportunity to enter the contest.

My biggest sewing and crochet challenge is physically being able to do it most days as I seem to have a connective tissue disorder that makes me prone to repetitive stress injuries. What really makes it hard is that I use crocheting and sewing as ways to cope when I’m depressed and being unable to do it as much as I’d like to just makes the depression even worse, which makes the pain even worse. I am slowly learning ways to accommodate for the physical challenges. My daughter would love to have Logan to go with her custom AG that looks like her and her Grace Thomas. Myself and both of my kids are big star wars fans so that makes the prize pack even better.

My biggest challenge is locating and gathering supplies to do the project. I do not have a craft space so things are stored in garage, upstairs bedroom closet etc. The dining room table is my workspace so I am constantly getting projects out then putting them away. I spend more time on that than I do on the actual project. I do,however, use totes bags or box to make it easier during construction. These then sit in my dining room floor during meals until the project is completed. Then I have to put all the supplies back in the garage, upstairs etc. Thank you for the contest. I would love to win.

My biggest sewing, knitting or crochet challenge besides finding time has been knitting for my 5" and doll house dolls. That first row is always hard. I tend to take out as much as add to! It is so rewarding when I get a project completed. I’ve been slowly working my way down from my 18" dolls to the dollhouse dolls. My dolls are so cooperative. They never complain. They just wait anxiously with those big smiles. Talk about unconditional love! :)
