when you have chosen a pattern for your project, do you spend more time on--fabric choices, cutting, layout, actual sewing, cleaning up, or procrastination...? OR WHAT?

All of the above!

I can spend forever looking for the right pattern lol....

all of the above!! but fabric selection is a real blocker. But I have decided I am just gonna jump into the fabrics.. used to hesitate (did I buy that for something special?) you must know what I mean by that!!

it depends on the design, but I spend A LOT of time selecting which fabrics wil go next to which others.

Probably cutting & actual sewing.

I just want to see results and enjoy the process.

Me, too, whenever I get to sew!!!!
