Why is there such a fluctuation between &#39;too little&#39; and &#39;too many&#39;? Could it be because sewing is a creative process and there is not always a constant in creating? It&#39;s nice to know I&#39;m not alone.

I often have it (unbelievably) or the opposite - too many ideas!! I just find that the best thing to do is to do something.<br /><br />Well done for having your mammogram - they don&#39;t bother me, but then there is not much of me to pinch and press - I gather it is quite uncomfortable for a lot of ladies. Still, very necessary, and some people avoid necessary things.

I have eleven pieces of fabric matched up with 8 different patterns and I&#39;m scared stiff to put scissors to one in case I&#39;m sorry I didn&#39;t use that other piece. Then, which one will I make first? Decisions, decisions! Opportunityknits expressed my problems perfectly. <br />Your chosen pattern looks like a very nice usable jacket and I love the fabric.

I had to laugh, at your rationale for going to Hancocks.. That is so me..

The fabric has ...Oh Lisa, your plan sounds so good! The fabric has lovely colours and texture and what a clever idea to use the selvedge! I like how the selvedge has a touch of red. It&#39;s going to be lovely and truly one of a kind. And I just read today that a wrap style coat or jacket has the advantage of wrapping more snugly or loosely for fit. <br />You asked on Flickr if I I have problems figuring out what to sew next. Boy, do I have problems! I always suffer from garment sewing block after I complete each project. While I am in the middle of sewing something, my head will be exploding with all the things I want to sew next, but the minute I finish my project, suddenly I can&#39;t think of what to sew. I flit from pattern to pattern, one fabric to another. Then I get impatient because I am wasting precious sewing time haha. Once I get over my sewing indecision, the cutting is also a bit of a pian, but the sewing goes so quickly :)<br />I have tried to analyse my sewing indecision dilemma and I think I have identified one major reason for it. I view each of my humble fabrics (really they are nothing very fancy or expensive) as being the last of its very kind and hence I need to match it up with the most perfect pattern that will use up exactly all of the yardage leaving no waste. As you can see, that is a rather ridiculous task, hence the indecision. I really need to just view my floral linen as just a piece of lovely cloth and there are more of where it came from, in different forms waiting to be discovered, and I cannot move on the next lovely thing if I keep getting stuck on one. Having said that I am now undecided between 2 patterns to sew with my linen floral. I started out with 3 narrowed down to 2. You can see it here on my instagram. http://instagram.com/oppknits<br />Have a lovely weekend!opportunityknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07117079481971682582[email protected]
