My biggest Sewing, knitting or crocheting challenge is ruffles! No matter what technique I try I seem to also have trouble getting them even and it always takes several attempts before they are attached without puckers or fold overs. A boy doll would mean no ruffles needed!

My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is getting started. Once I start, I have no problem finishing, but sometimes it just so hard to just start. I have the project, the materials, and the time, but seem to find other things to do. Maybe I’m missing my “Muse”.

I guess my biggest challenge is understanding the instructions. I can read them several times but until i actually start doing the project it just doesnt click. I guess i am a hands on sewing. With knitting my challenge is fixing a mistake, like a dropped stitch.

My granddaughters have given me lists of what they would like to have and I want to do all of it. I love the dolls and want to copy every pattern I see. So much fun and so little time

I think my (our) biggest challenge is organization of materials. I share the sewing & crafting area, supplies & materials with my grand daughters ages 12 and 15. So, we have started a major re-do… strip down the area and start from scratch, together. I’d rather be sewing but the job at hand is the organizing. We received assorted sets of containers and boxes for Christmas to help us get it all together. Looking forward to the sounds of the sewing machines running again very soon. Good luck to everyone with their own challenges. One thing at a time.

She was a wiz with a crochet hook, or her old treddle singer sewing machine. She taught me so much, even though we lived many states apart…her in Georgia and me in Michigan. This is a message to all Grandma’s out there, teach your grandchildren some of these crafting gems!!!
