I sewed a little as a teenager (sewing class at school) but never really enjoyed it. My mum's profession was a Court Dressmaker, and she tried to encourage me and showed me the basics and a few hints and tips but, like most teenagers, I didn't make the most of her knowledge and skills.
Just before Covid struck, I got out my old sewing machine and started sewing for my young GD. I got the bug, converted the smallest bedroom to a sewing room and for the next five years or so sewed for myself, my GC and my DH. I gradually improved and things like setting in sleeves, gathering skirts to bodices and putting on collars became, if not easy, at least not as scary as they were when I first attempted them.
Why then am I finding myself feeling less confident about tackling projects with new techniques and skills that I haven't done before. I feel that my confidence is waning instead of increasing. Does anyone have any tips for boosting my confidence and getting my sewing enthusiasm back?
