1. There are always more fun and interesting projects demanding my time and attention.
- Sewing for kids is always much more fun and interesting--at least to me.
- Plus I don't really like to see myself in photographs. Even though I have lost a considerable amount of weight, I'm still not 100% comfortable in front of the camera.
2. It takes more thought and adjustments to make a pattern to fit my size.
- I'm short--barely 5'1" and so I almost always have to chop several inches off the length of skirts or pants.
- I also have short arms--thus I have to chop off a couple inches in the sleeve area.
- I have never done a full bust adjustment so that pretty much rules out tops for me to sew--cardigans are a different story.
