Anyway, I'm pretty sure I'm just going to buy patterns from now on instead of trying to follow "easy" tutorials. Maybe I should just give up on the whole sewing thing all together and stick with the simple paper crafts I'm good at.
I've decided that if there was one talent in the world I wish I had, it would be sewing.
Should have paid more attention when I was 10 and my mom was trying to teach me.
What one talent do you wish you could develop?
painting
ReplyDeletethe talent of not saying stupid things all the time...ha
ReplyDeletePlaying the piano. Or the guitar, or the drums. Just being a better sight-reader and musician. I feel like a whole world of opportunity and service and fun and fulfillment could be opened to me.
ReplyDeleteMaybe all those "easy" tutorials are for people who, like, already "know how to sew" and are familiar with patterns and vocabulary and fabric and needle sizes and whatever the heck else there is out there. Because I feel similarly confused whenever I try to follow "easy" tutorials/patterns. I usually end up doing things over again several times, and sort of making half of it up.
I wrote down a list of 13 things, then got embarrassed of all of the things I'm underdeveloped on. So I'm just going to write ukulele.
ReplyDeleteWhen I look at those tutorials I mostly think "These people should not be teaching anybody how to do this!" Because normally they are doing it poorly or leave out pretty important steps. Sorry but just calling it like it is.

ReplyDeleteNo need to apologize, madre- it makes me feel better!
ReplyDeleteI'm right with you on the sewing. I want so badly to be good at it! I really ought to practice more, but I just get so frustrated.
