However over the last week I have been prevented from working because of fear. The fear first appeared while working on this shirt. It's my Boden inspired tunic. The construction of the shirt went well and I was pleased with the shirt until I tried it on. I feared the end product and haven't touched it in 2 weeks. I figured out last night that the shirt need to move from it's current position where it continues to mock me and my inability to complete. The fear gained power while I worked to cut out pants. My fear of not achieving a perfect in the finished product began to erode my desire to even start on the pants. I was surprised and miffed about my fears. In the past I have felt frustrated about finished products not being quite right - but never had I experienced fear of an outcome before starting a project!
In order to get over the hump I made myself start cutting knit fabric for some tops. Knit is nice because it is forgiving and I made sure to pick projects which are popular in PR and just my style.
whats wrong with the top--it looks cute. will it fit my newly slenderized (or soon to be??) bod?
ReplyDeleteBIG fan of Boden and bigger fan of Boden knock-offs. But I hear ya on the fear. I don't mind sewing for the little peeps, but I rarely sew something for myself that I love.
