| I cannot! I will not! No!..There is nothing left in me... |
Has this ever happened to you? I think that I am deeply in the throws of it...sewers block. I believe it began with the Evil Yellow Dress Project....I was....hmm....just not that inspired.
I am sewing at the moment, but I'm not SEWING. From time to time I am asked to do children's costumes. I'm working on a Brave dress. It is easy, boring yet time consuming. I was inspired by the book dress, and now I'm not. Halloween is coming up and my general belief is that it should be a national holiday. We should have the day off to prepare our costumes and the following day to recover from our reveling. This year I have made nothing novel, and am staring at various fabrics and patterns completely unmotivated. Nothing in the costume closet sparks enough enthusiasm to even purchase a Halloween event ticket. Bla!
How do I get my mojo back? Any suggestions?
Seriously I alwyas get that problem of no motivation.Sometimes it's hard to come back but what work for me it's to start a project I really want to do and make it the number 1 to do.A time of no sewing at all to change your mind is good too.You will be back on the track with more idea.
ReplyDeleteI hope it will help
I always get sewing block! On every single project, unless it's one of those rare ones I knock out in three or four days. If it's during the project, I usually let myself do an easier, or mindless, task, like making trim I know I'll need later, or doing button holes or something like.
ReplyDeleteSometimes starting little projects will spur a bigger one. Making an embroidered pocket or a coif or even repairing/resizing old costumes will remind me that I really do love sewing, and then I'll be inspired to make an entire new ensemble. Of couse, sometimes this results in having 4 or 5 different projects all at once, but it certainly does kick the inspiration back in!
