Hang in there.
If you enjoy it that is what is important.
Don't try to judge yourself by what you think others are doing. I can tell you the pictures here cover a multitude of wrinkles & puckers. I've posted pictures & I have to admit they don't look half bad in the pictures but in real life oh my.
If you feel comfortable doing only pot holders do that to build up your confidence then move on to placemats & table runners then bigger.
Have you tried totes? Most are pretty easy especially after you have done one.
