My biggest challenge is to finish what I started. I love to start projects but as soon as I get close to finishing and can see what it’s going to look like I’m done.
My biggest sewing challange is when I make a pattern for the first time and it doesn’t turn out, I keep going back again and again adjusting pattern, and remaking it until I am satisfied with it. When it is finally completed, I feel like I have accomplished something, even though it may have taken three times longer than it should have.
My biggest sewing challenge is to finish the project I’ve started BEFORE I get excited about the next cute pattern and start that one!! I have so many half-finished projects!

My biggest challenge with crocheting is arm pain. I have several rips in my rotator cuff and crocheting or cutting by hand with scissors or any repetitive motion causes pain. I just try to speed my crafting over many days.
I think tiny notions and doll appropriate fabrics are really challenging to find. Sizes for 18" dolls is becoming easier, but I sew in other sizes too.
Biggest challenge is lining up and sewing on snaps!
My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is: When my boss retired I wanted to make her a quilt which I did, but the size of it was challenging by itself to find a place big enough to lay it down to layered it and to have every little star match. That was my biggest and hardest challenge so far. But I have to say it was so much fun and my boss really liked to receive the quilt.
