Sewing Paralysis

Any tips on how to get going when you're in what seems like sewing paralysis. I have the desire to sew, all the tools and fabric and patterns but getting down to it is a problem. I love it when I do! 

I would start with a small project, maybe one that you've sewn before an know what you're doing so that you are more likely to get a win rather than get discouraged by a tricky make

I have the same issue myself. I'm planning on having a big sort out of my sewing space then I'll pick an pattern that I know well and will be less stress to make than something new. Also sew in short bursts like 1/2 a day. Chelsea from Friday pattern co did that recently 

My other tip is to sew a non-garment - like a bag or accessory, something that you don't need to worry about fitting and can just get immersed in the sewing

I've got loads of fabric, lots of ideas but not had time to sew over Christmas and the New Year.  

Started to clear my craft room / office /laundry today so that I can create some clear space/head space to start a new project. 

I've ordered a bag kit so think I'm going to try that first. I sewed a few garments just before Christmas and looking forward to doing more,  but need a bit of breathing space first.

good luck with finding your sew-mo-jo.  👍

I think sewing a bag pattern is a great way to start sewing again - no fitting needed so can just enjoy the process!
