My biggest sewing challenge was recent. I was making a Marcy Tilton skirt from a pattern and got to the last 3 steps and didn’t understand the directions. I tried every different way I could think that it meant but none looked right so…. I ended up abandoning the pattern and finished up from my own directions. It doesn’t look like the picture on the front but it works as a skirt
