My biggest sewing challenge is learning to work with a variety of fabrics, and knowing which thread, presser foot, & fabric helps to use (as in special tapes, etc.) Sewing with Cinnamon has been very helpful. Glad I signed up for the online courses. I’m learning new things each week!
My biggest sewing challenge is not comparing myself to all the amazing sewers out there and feeling disappointed in my finished pieces, because mine are always flawed in my eyes, no matter how many people tell me the stuff looks great :(

My biggest problem is rushing to finish something (usually because I’m excited) and then mistakes are made and I get frustrated and put it in my finish later pile.
My biggest challenge is space. I have all of my sewing,crafting!, scrapbooking , genealogy, and circuit machines and supplies crammed into one small room ( which I am so very blessed to have!). And even when I am vigilant about putting thins away as I work there’s always things stacked up on flat surfaces and the floor. There isn’t enough space to spread out the fabric for cutting fabric. We don’t have a garage or a shed for secure storage, protection from critters and dampness is simply not available. I have purged and reorganized a bunch but there’s basics that you simply have to have on hand and can’t afford to dispose of. So someday when I win the lottery( which I forget to buy tickets for). I will have a separate work room for each of my hobbies and a staff person on site to keep them organized. ( Never too old to dream!)
“My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is keeping focused. There are so many wonderful patterns and possibilities. I want to do them all, and soon I become overwhelmed. I need to focus to complete one project before starting a new one. P.S. KOSKI KREATIONS may be someone related to me.
