The fabric on my sewing table has changed dramatically.
Instead of working with a dizzying view of camouflage, my “to-do” pile is a very serene, zen white.
Instead of working with industrial zippers, quilted nylon and heavy-duty elastic, I’ve switched to soft, fluffy fabrics and lots of different kinds of cotton.
That change got me thinking – how does your attitude change when your project changes?
Even little things like my music preference will change depending on what I’m sewing. During my last project, I liked upbeat music with a good beat and lots of energy. At the moment however, I’m enjoying a more relaxed playlist… or even just quiet.
Do some projects make you feel like scrunching up your shoulders and make you tense? Or are some projects just too much fun to take seriously? How about those projects that make you bored… remember to not fall asleep at the sewing machine 
Next time you’re sewing, ask yourself – “how do I feel?” – and pay attention to it…
