My stitching isn’t perfect. I love the raw edges and how they curl after being washed.

The “loving” may start with the thread, but goes through to the whole garment.

Beautiful article. I hope someday to sit where you were.

I attended a workshop in August and I too learned to let go of my perfection obsession. I couldn’t finish anything and wasn’t really enjoying the process of making anything until I spent that weekend with Natalie and her amazing staff. Now I am stitching better than ever, loving every minute of it and have finished two projects. The first thing I did when I got home was make some adjustments to a skirt I made two years ago and immediately cut thru the bottom layer! And Natalie was right, “nothing” happened except I started laughing and relaxing about the whole process. After all, that’s what beads are for, to cover up little “accidents”!
Happy Stitching Libby and thanks for sharing.
Cathy
