Planning my writing plans

You have to plan to make plans so your plans actually get planned. I love dedicating myself to writing towards the end of the year and I am just getting started. I need help deciding which project to work on. I love both so much but can't pick. I feel like I am going to have to plan for both in the lead up to November so I can choose last minute. ua-cam.com/play/PLAZSYgCZuU5Cq9b84xkNfJIvqBaMDnC...
Sewing as much as possible 🧵🪡 8 Week Sewing Challenge

My 8 Week Sewing Challenge is half way done and I'm having a great time! 4/10 garments have been made and I've learned so much from each of them. The tie on pockets taught me how to apply bias binding, the shirt taught me how to use interfacing, the skirt taught me that sometimes it is okay for things to be imperfect if they still serve their purpose and the dress taught me how to make bias bin...

Sewing Pants In A Day (to keep my anxious brain at bay)

    I read the bonus chapter Henry's POV and I won't be surprise the director Matthew Lopez adds certain sections to the squeal. Like Henry learning how to cook and go grocery shopping (it will be funny if its a Walmart or sort). Or hiring a double look-alike to keep the paparazzi away. Glimpse of his new life with Alex in the States.

    I have the DIY Daisy book and I do find that some of the patterns can be very hit or miss. I do live and die by her scrunchie pattern, but almost everything else I've tried from the book has given me trouble in some form. /sigh

    Wool has nothing to do with being vegan. Privleged vegans who don't 'have' to use a natural unmatched resource to keep warm. Leather is also an unmatched quality by-product. Both used for thousands of years. I look for pure wool clothes in Opshops, and occasionally get lucky. ✅️✅️✅️

    I spent the last two years sewing thru my stash. I finished it back in January & now I only buy fabrics per projects. It felt so good to get rid of all the clutter. This year I have been focusing on using the scraps up 😂 - so my weeks have been filled with making stays, patchwork vests, totes etc. It’s a lot & sewing 🧵 projects do take time…but you can do it 🙌✨✨✨ #keepgoing ✂️

    "You're kind of really bad at it until your not" hits so hard. I'm still in my really bad at it phase of sewing. It's nice to hear someone on UA-cam talk about it. It can be disheartening seeing everyone make beautiful garments and I can barely sew a straight line despite working at it for a year lol

    • @theisabellalouise
      @theisabellalouise Місяць тому

      Trust me when I say that the way something looks on camera isn’t always an accurate representation of a garment. Comparing the thing in your hands and the thing on a screen is always going to make you feel like you are worse at it than you really are. Thinking you’re bad at something just proves that you know enough about the thing that you know what it is ‘meant’ to look like - which is a huge step in the development of a skill! Keep working at it, it’ll always be worth it ❤️

    I think you need to be a little kinder to yourself about this because sitting expectations and goals and challenges for yourself is awesome. But telling yourself that other people can easily do 10 projects in eight weeks is unfair to yourself. A lot of the UA-camr I follow who have thousands if not a million subscribers, Rachel Maksi, for example, get completely burned out if they try doing a complete sewing project per week much less, in less than a week. I fully support you setting goals and challenges if that's what works for your brain! But also don't compare yourself to people who can pump out in a week. It can take me six weeks to put out one project. ❤

One of the best things I did for myself was deleting tiktok, I defiantly use Instagram reels more than I did, but no where near as much as I was using tiktok. Like you I would spend hoooours on tiktok and I wasn't even enjoying it! So I hope this new system for you helps you! ☺ and omg yesss Pinterest is my literal favourite social media because it doesn't feel like social media, it just feels like a fun little creative project that is personal to me!
