you have ever sewn.
Now, don't laugh, but I had a hard time with the Christmas tree skirt I made. I think the reason being that I used plaid fabric to line it with and I had a tough time matching up the plaid as it was sewn in two sections.
But I do remember in high school, ripping off a peter pan collar about a dozen times before I got it right.
And zippers...Ugh
Now you know why I don't sew clothing.

Oh Jayne, smaller clothing like that seems so much harder. You will have to show us some of your dressed bears! I know the gals would love to see them, Miss Teddymaker!!

Well, the hardest thing I've ever sewn has been when I've tried to mend my husbands jeans. He does mechanical work and is always catching his jeans on a sharp piece of metal or something and ripping his pants in the hardest places to mend.
I ask him why he can't just rip them in an easy to mend place? He says it's not like he plans it or anything! I have a hard time putting patches on his jeans in the back pocket area and the crotch area!

Oh boy this is embarrassing, but nothing really. I can do most anything I set my mind to on the sewing machine.
