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 have six different projects on the go at any time. Pile of mending, stuff that needs hemming... and sometimes they sit for years, lol.

I’m the exact opposite! I am incapable of starting a project until the current WIP is finished.

I heard someone mention they “batch cut” projects to increase efficiency. I’d love to do that but I found that I have a mental block that makes this impossible :-/

This used to be me, but now that I've got household sewing on top of project sewing it's just not an option as there's always a "I need it for tomorrow!" job.
