Sometimes I'll keep going until I get to the beginning of whatever blog I'm reading.

I have a sewing playlist of favorite songs to listen to when I'm sewing as well. Sometimes that can help lift the mood during those moments when you want to rage flip your sewing machine (or more specifically, your "auto" "one step" button-hole foot).Rochelle Newhttp://luckylucille.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401460045100208871.post-89592773412808953012014-08-23T20:15:02.626-07:002014-08-23T20:15:02.626-07:00Nicely put!

These are all strategies that I try to employ too, but it's nice to have them all put down in one place for those times when you can't get things straight in your head. I think your first point is probably the most pertinent for me- I know I'll only make things worse & make heaps of mistakes if I try to persevere when I'm not feeling it. Works for problem solving too- as soon as I step away and start thinking about something else (or even nothing at all) then a solution or idea will just POP right into my head!Jennyhttp://rennous-oh-glennus.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401460045100208871.post-64522380649048608842014-08-22T13:02:15.905-07:002014-08-22T13:02:15.905-07:00Short rows are so confusing!

I don't do that with sewing often, but I do with knitting. I got stuck on short rows for the sleeves, and threw it in the back of my sewing closet.

I also enjoy stepping away from sewing and instead knitting when I'm in a slump, although I have to confess I'm in the opposite situation right now- got stuck on a pattern (that I've done before even! I screwed something up and don't have enough stitches left to continue on a section, ack!) and now I'm pretending like this project doesn't exist because I get too mad thinking about it!Gingerhttp://gingermakes.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401460045100208871.post-47235077166704392822014-08-22T04:45:29.373-07:002014-08-22T04:45:29.373-07:00I can relate to fails totally discouraging the lov...I can relate to fails totally discouraging the love of sewing.
