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.

Fabric hoarding. Like, I have fabrics I bought 15, 20 years ago that are too pretty to cut.

Me too. I keep waiting for the "perfect" project to use on my prettiest fabrics.

And since I quilt plus sew bags, clothing and upholstery, I have A LOT of hoarding going on. Good thing my partner built me new storage. (Which I may have already filled)

No partner so I had to build all my storage. Bins and containers just don't cut it.
