SO WHY HAVE I BEEN AVOIDING THE ROOM LIKE IT CONTAINS A FLEET OF ZOMBIES?! I even have this pretty top all cut out and ready to sew, that's been sitting in the bottom of a basic for who knows how long.
Does anyone else procrastinate from sewing when you dedicate a chunk of time to do it? Or is sewing only for times when you need to procrastinate from something else?
LOOK I'M EVEN DOING IT NOW. Sitting in my sewing room, blogging instead of sewing. ARGH GET UR BUTT IN FRONT OF THAT MACHINE MISSY!
I do it too. I don't know why it happens, but I tend not to sew anyway as it usually turns to custard and reinforces my negativity at the time!
ReplyDeleteOh that's not good. I usually find if I push myself to just get going on it, it'll start to go fine. I just get...weird about starting.
DeleteA much better approach, since actual SEWING results from it hehe. Still, I now have a tidy studio, and two shirts cut out, which is good, but compared to actually have several shirts made and ready t deliver, not so good... lesigh
DeleteYeah, it happens to me too. In my case I think it is because of perfectionism paralysis. Don't know what your problem is. 8-D It really annoys me when it happens though.
ReplyDeleteI'm just from The Family of Procrastinators. Seriously, we're awful. Using sewing as procrastination - I can sew all day! Dedicate time to sewing - I'll go clean the bathroom or something else equally stupid. It's just a matter of forcing myself to focus. I shut the room door, cranked up the heat (so I'll stop using the 'IT'S TOO COLD IN HERE TO SEW' excuse, and put on Pride and Prejudice to distract me from boredom and occupy the computer (so I can't just go online).
DeleteIt seemed to work - I just have hems to do on the top - but then a friend talked me into going to a play, so there went that. It was a good play though, so I have no regrets!
old joke about procrastinators.
DeleteThere is a Procrastinators of America Club. They have 100 official members but there are about a million members who haven't gotten around to joining yet. I know it's bad, but sooo true.
I love that fabric, go make the dang thing! I do this for the gym as well. When I have lots of time I don't go, when I can;t go all I can think is how much I'd like to. Weird!
ReplyDeleteAHAHA I DO THAT WITH THE GYM TOO. Aww I didn't recognize that before you mentioned it. lol
