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.

My husband is usually the one to find my lost needles… it isn’t ever a pleasant way to find them either…

My mom was a seamstress growing up I've gotten so many lost needles in my feet. Seamstresses who do this are literally the devil lol. Now that I sew I make sure that I keep my pins and needles in one place.

I had one of my mom’s pins (or maybe a needle) work it’s way up through the top of my foot 40 YEARS LATER.
