I have...I also identify with what you are saying. <br /><br />I have realised that for me, sewing is first and foremost a hobby. I do it as a way to reclaim a small part of my day away from a small child and back for myself. <br /><br />I sew what I feel like sewing: if I have no energy for a project then I don't even attempt it. I find basics bore me to tears as they have no challenge to them. So I buy basics and sew "decoration" and that works well for me. <br /><br />It sounds to me like you have no energy for the shirt, that it doesn't inspire you. Then why not put it away for the time when the inspiration stirs and the creative muses come calling.<br /><br />There's sewing for it's own sake, and then there's sewing to have a wearable warbrobe. If you know what sewing means to you then you'll find a way to resolve the tension between the two.Mary Nannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02577449410716501317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220148418489217731.post-58297235184758048632009-09-16T12:01:53.964+10:002009-09-16T12:01:53.964+10:00I know what you mean about direction...I strive fo...I know what you mean about direction...I strive for it, but I don't always make it! I find myself jumping all over the place with my projects, like a magpie attracted to bright colors...and I end up without a coherent wardrobe. So I, too, have been trying to concentrate on classics, and also have decided that "gray" is my color...if I get a print, it has to match my gray slacks! But that is the extent of my direction.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873478695914665795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220148418489217731.post-86237369341627582572009-09-16T10:12:05.046+10:002009-09-16T10:12:05.046+10:00Ah spring has spring.
