I love my kids but PLEASE let me have 5 min of quiet to get into the grove of sewing. I can't sit anymore and sew for ong periods of time because of back and neck problems from a car accident last august. How do you guys get up and do it. Looking on here has helped get my flair for it back but how do you guys just get motivated to sew?
Hi, Motivation is so often a problem, I have really bad back and neck pain and waiting for an operation that may-- or not help.Then my lovely husband created a sewing room for me-- very small but everything to hand, then I spent time on this forum and the fantastic help on youtube .I now feel a real buzz and motivated.Give your children time, they are precious but allocate time for yourself too. We have to make space for ourselves to help cope with what life gives us. Perhaps you could give the children something to do as you sew -- sort out your threads or scraps maybe. Keep cheerful, bless you, I'm 73 years old but creativity still continues. x
