10 reasons why I am a horrible seamstress/sewer

Posted on | June 8, 2010 | 1 Comment

  1. I don’t make muslins.
  2. I don’t trace my patterns (I know!!  I plan on changing, with my next purchased pattern.)
  3. I don’t tissue fit.
  4. If I can’t find my marking pencils, sometimes I use a pen. I know, I’m awful.
  5. I don’t oil my machine enough.
  6. Sometimes I sew over pins.  And I put them in my mouth.
  7. My scissors are in desperate need of sharpening.
  8. My cutting table is covered in who-knows-what so I use the floor instead.
  9. I can’t ever remember the type of needle to use for different fabrics, and I always have to look it up.  Or just go with what’s in my machine at the time.
  10. I have 15 unfinished projects, partially cut out or sewn, on my sewing table right now, and I’m not sure why I can’t manage to finish them.
