My biggest sewing challenge is to keep my sewing room organized where I can actually sew! My biggest sewing project that challenged med was this past Christmas. I am a teacher. A total of 68 students come to me for instruction. Their gift from me was a zipper bag with their name embroidered it. Someone helped me cut out the fabric for the zipper bags. 2 weeks before party day I started sewing & embroidering them. And I sewed, and embroidered, and sewed, and embroidered….way into the night many nights in a row. The night before the party I was up until 2 am. But, with the help of my husband, I went to school with all 68 embroidered zipper bags. Yeah! Seeing the look of excitement of my students faces made all those late nights of sewing so worth it!

My biggest sewing, knitting or crocheting challenge is finding the time to even sit down and work on a project. I have so many projects on the go and so many more that I want to do so this year I want to get down to brass tacks and tackle a quilt that has been waiting for me to piece as I want it as a gift to a man who services my propane stove every year. I’d really love to have the gorgeous boy doll with his outfit and patterns.

She has been asking for a boy doll and she loves Star Wars. She would flip for this doll. We are currently working on a doll back pack, a pair of pink sparkly shoes and a dress with multiple rows of lace. We will use the Force.

My biggest sewing challenge is finding enough boy doll patterns to keep up with all of the requests from my grandchildren! They all have American Girl dolls (including my grandsons) and whenever I sew an outfit for them, they always want a matching outfit for their doll. There is a very limited number of boy doll patterns out there in comparison to the girl doll patterns and I am always trying to improvise to make something for their doll to match!

My biggest sewing challenge is garment construction sequencing. Like if I did this seam first it would have been easier to turn, or if you tack this side the other side lines up nicer. Most of the time I only use parts and pieces of a pattern to create my own garments so an internalized knowledge of the best way to construct something.
