What part of sewing do you detest?

I only do it if I *absolutely* have to, but I hate it. I don't mind cutting out - or any other step. And I even love hand sewing - but I have a major block on tracing - ugh. Those patterns on heavy paper aren't too bad to trace (like the Jalie I just did), but tracing tissue patterns is horrid. ------ Blessings, Patti http://poured-out.blogspot.com/ http://homeschooling-imperfectly.blogspot.com/ 2013 TOTAL = 23 1/4 yards sewn April 2013 SA Judy top - 1 yd.

But I do it, to preserve the original pattern tissue; and to have a pattern piece I can make alterations with more easily.

My sewing room is upstairs and the ironing board is downstairs. I find choosing the interfacing confusing, cutting it out difficult (shouldn't t be smaller?), fusing it tedious. I also get confused about which part of the collar to interface. I should take that class being offered. ------ my blog: http://kf-biblioblog.blogspot.com/ Sewing through my pattern stash-125 completed.

I took that class about 2 years ago! Sarah Veblan is a great on-line instructor - and I learned so much about interfacing - the samples helped too. The only bad part is that none of my samples were from Fashion Sewing Supply (NAYY) and I like theirs best. I do think this was the best class I ever took and removed so much mystery about interfacing for me. ------ Blessings, Patti http://poured-out.blogspot.com/ http://homeschooling-imperfectly.blogspot.com/ 2013 TOTAL = 23 1/4 yards sewn April 2013 SA Judy top - 1 yd.

You know, that part of sewing when you're sitting at your machine and the following occurs: a) You begin to wonder if you will finish within a reasonable amount of time or b) You do something you know you shouldn't have or c) You become so bored, when you started out so ''gung-ho'' that you're about to cry or d) You feel so insecure for working on this item. I can set my frame of mind for the right mood for tracing and cutting out, although it takes work, but the upper four are lethal.... ------ "We don't impose our rhythm on Nature.

Probably as a result of this loathing, this is the part that seems to take the longest for me.
