I'm reminded of a cousin wanting to learn to sew. I helped her make a little dress for her daughter and encouraged her to 'make things right'. Her answer was, 'how will anyone know I made it myself if it is perfect?' So now, when I help someone I try to figure out how 'perfect' they want their item to be and go from there. I sure don't want to discourage anyone from enjoying the craft as much as I do.
