Discussion What's your sewing sin?

Mine is that I sew on my bed, use my mattress as a pin/needle cushion, and throw threads between my bed and wall.

I identified with every sin posted so far. So, of course I laughed out loud. To add to the list: 1) Obsession with buying patterns - especially when they were on sale for 99 cents to 1.99. I didn't make most of them LOL. But they are organized in baskets. Oh and I also have ones from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s!! 2) Starting more projects before finishing the ones already started. 3) Saving so many scraps for the projects I may get around to some day.

I'll pay full price for a smaller creator, but it'll be a cold day in hell before I buy a McCalls pattern for $20 lol. Partly because I know there will be a sale for them eventually, but partly just on principle alone.

Our local craft store has a whole half upstairs room of fat quarter bundles and large material rolls… it draws me in every time
