Skirts, Skirts & More Skirts 🧵🪡 8 Week Sewing Challenge
The 8 Week Sewing Challenge is continuing on!
Another four garments down, 8/10, only two to go.

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.

    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. ✅️✅️✅️

    "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 3 місяці 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! I hope you get back into reading physical books my lovely and have a great reading month! 📚🤍
