It makes me want to make something like it!

Try viewing the post in another browser. Firefox and Chrome work best with this website. Also, the video doesn’t start right away; hit play then pause to allow the entire video to buffer before viewing. This helps too.

I’m getting over a period of feeling burned out on costumes (haven’t done any for a while!) but also sewing in general. But I’ve done a few smaller projects and just finished one up today and it helps. It’s nice to have somethings finished up. I also feel overwhelmed when I have too many unfinished things lying around and then I don’t want to do any of them. So I’ve been trying to finish those up, too.

This describes me to a t! I’ve been in the throngs of a really hard project for several months now, and the problems never seem to end… But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. 😉 Thank you for this bit of encouragement!

Sounds like you are a perfectionist. But if you live your life in fear nothing will get accomplished (or finished). Who cares if you make something and gain weight? Who cares if you mess up? Only you… Your confidence will greatly increase if you stop worrying about how the project will turn out. They are all learning experiences which build on each other. Goodness knows my projects aren’t perfect! I’ve had weight adjustments where my finely fitted Victorian clothes don’t fit (both too small and too large).

Every sewer has that moment of “gosh, that didn’t turn out like I expected (or wished).” But the best thing is to just keep moving forward. Stopping is the worst thing. And find a project that you love. Working on something just because of other people’s ideas and urging is not going to help you complete anything. Make your projects for YOU. Best of luck in moving forward Melody!
