If you're a crafter, maker, or designer of any kind, you've probably faced struggles that got in the way of your enjoyment of what you create.

I've returned to Check Your Thread to tackle this very topic with legendary sewist and teacher, Zoe Edwards!

We share thoughts on many big questions, such as:

• How does self-knowledge relate to your enjoyment of craft?
• How do you deal with challenges?
• Plus, #MeMadeMay learnings and more!

Day 27: a Wolke dress from ManjiPuh. This is only the second time I've worn it because the lady time, people asked me if it was a swim.suit, so now I feel self-conscious about it.

Little Japanese knit bag for #memademay Self-drafted, uses only 2 fat quarters, totally reversible. I kinda love it.

Day 26: Dharma Trading smocked sundress, dyed by me and that same Babe hoodie. I need more colors of that.

Doll hair salon. Don’t click the pictures if you find #dolls #scary. But interesting for people who like the construction of toys. #MeMadeMay #sewing #handsewing #WIP

Day 22 is a top that I purchased from Dharma Trading and dyed. The pictures don't do the color justice. I LOVE the colors on this one.

Hi @sewing , I just finished these comfy #MeMadeMay leggings. I took some in-progress pics; would anybody like a followup post with technique tips?
(Please overlook the different-vibes hoodie. My barn cat brought in an almost-unscathed baby rabbit and it’s snoozing in the hoodie pocket! But I made the hoodie too 😊) #sewing

#memademay day 17: endless summervtop from Pattern Emporium.This is the best fitting sleeveless armscye that I have ever used. It hugs the armpit perfectly, totally covers the bra and no gaps. Yes, I wear spooky prints all year round.

I'm dedicated to breaking in these black Muna & Broad Noice jeans so everyone will simply have to deal with seeing them in all my #memademay23 posts. The tee is the Closet Core tshirt made with salvaged scraps. The belt was made by Littlewood Leather. (Highly recommend their work!)

Found it challenging to cut the sponge cylinder that fills the neck

I liked my outfit yesterday and got a lot of super lovely compliments too, giving me good practice in accepting them readily!
