My biggest sewing challenge is changing my human tailoring to small doll thinking. I’ve been a seamstress my entire life (now 60). So often my brain goes to, the really tailored way I sued to do things, to . um . that just won’t work on this scale . . I’m still working at it.

My biggest problem is learning to knit. I can knit/purel nice and even but if a mishap occurs U can’t seem to visualize how to fix it. Often taking out many does before I can (maybe) get back on tract. It is quite a challenge for me and I do get discouraged and go back to crocheting.

My biggest sewing challenge right now is finding the time to teach my 7 year old Granddaughter to sew. Now that she is in school full time and has after school and weekend activities it’s hard to fit in our special sewing times.
She really enjoys sewing clothes for her dolls. Her other Nana bought her a sewing machine for Christmas so we are very anxious to start on some new projects.

My biggest knitting challenge is remembering how to do it between being taught and starting a project, just can’t seem to “groc” it :) Sewing is just fun. But my biggest problem is confidence in my finished product. That’s why I started “Sewing with Cinnamon”. It really makes a difference. Maybe I can even get up the nerve to sell something I’ve made :) Happy New Year!!!

My biggest sewing challenge is working with my dear 1940 Kenmore sewing machine. No zig zag, nothing fancy and she was made b/4 stretch and sew fabrics, etc. So she and I just tackle each challenge and have millions of miles of stiches behind us. She is a workhorse and is still going strong with family sewing and a great deal of volunteer sewing. She’s amazing!

My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is finding the time to do everything I want to do in the short time I am able to do it. I work full time at a day job and only have an hour or two when I get home to work on any of my projects. I have tried time management by choosing patterns and material during the week and cutting them out so I can do my sewing on weekends but my dilemma is trying to fit family time in between my sewing jobs.

My biggest sewing challenge is making doll clothes that a challenged, special needs, child can easily get on and off when playing. My granddaughter is hemiplagic and right side compromised. Her “Barbies” are her American Girl Doll(s). Limited right hand abilities make changing outfits while playing difficult for her – which I need to keep in mind and rework patterns when sewing clothes.

She keeps telling me she needs a boy to play with all her girl dolls!

My biggest crochet, sewing challenge is finding room in my small apartment and finding time to do it for fun. I currently work 40+ hours per week, and I am trying to get a side business started, selling doll clothes made from only recycled clothing. My apartment is very small (for the 4 of us who live here), and is incredibly dark. The only room with natural light is my master bedroom, but there isn’t room to do crafts in here. Eventually, we are looking for a house to buy, and one of our new “must haves” is a craft room for me to build my business.
