My last post on "Thinking Outside the Box" immediately triggered another thought that has been wending it's way through my head the last couple of days.
So here it is, not well thought out, but down on paper, as it were.
Don't wait for perfection.
As a beginning sewist, I find myself struggling with perfectionism. I don't want to start a project until I know I can finish it successfully. I want to know at the beginning that everything is just right, even before I start a muslin.
But I'm not "good" at sewing yet. Sewing, like all skills, has to be practiced. Not only that, but sometimes, the mistakes you make become the best learning opportunities you will ever get. Lastly, when we make mistakes in sewing, as with so many other things, we get the chance to exercise our creativity by figuring out how to turn that loss into a win.
Just something to think about.
